Bandgap engineering of two-dimensional semiconductor materials

Andrey Chaves, Javad G. Azadani, Hussain Alsalman et al. · 24 Aug 2020

Abstract Semiconductors are the basis of many vital technologies such as electronics, computing, communications, optoelectronics, and sensing. Modern semiconductor technology can trace its origins to the invention of the point contact transistor in 1947. This demonstration paved the way for the development of discrete and integrated semiconductor devices and circuits that has helped to build…

Dielectric properties of hexagonal boron nitride and transition metal dichalcogenides: from monolayer to bulk

Akash Laturia, Maarten L. Van de Put, William G. Vandenberghe · 22 Feb 2018

Abstract Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) promise greatly improved electrostatic control in future scaled electronic devices. To quantify the prospects of these materials in devices, we calculate the out-of-plane and in-plane dielectric constant from first principles for TMDs in trigonal prismatic and octahedral coordination, as well as for h-BN, with…

Exciton physics and device application of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductors

Thomas Mueller, Ermin Malic · 9 Aug 2018

Abstract Two-dimensional group-VI transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductors, such as MoS 2 , WSe 2 , and others, exhibit strong light-matter coupling and possess direct band gaps in the infrared and visible spectral regimes, making them potentially interesting candidates for various applications in optics and optoelectronics. Here, we review their optical and optoelectronic properties with emphasis…

2D materials for spintronic devices

Chiyui Ahn · 18 Jun 2020

Abstract 2D materials are attractive for nanoelectronics due to their ultimate thickness dimension and unique physical properties. A wide variety of emerging spintronic device concepts will greatly benefit from the use of 2D materials, leading a better way to manipulating spin. In this review, we discuss various 2D materials, including graphene and other inorganic 2D…

Oxidation stability of Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets in solvents and composite films

Touseef Habib, Xiaofei Zhao, Smit A. Shah et al. · 13 Feb 2019

Abstract Ti 3 C 2 T x belongs to the family of MXenes, 2D materials with an attractive combination of functional properties suitable for applications such as batteries, supercapacitors, and strain sensors. However, the fabrication of devices and functional coatings based on Ti 3 C 2 T x remains challenging as they are prone to…

npj 2D Materials and Applications template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the npj 2D Materials and Applications format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the npj 2D Materials and Applications template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Springer Nature format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does npj 2D Materials and Applications use?
npj 2D Materials and Applications uses Superscript numbered (Nature) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A., Jones, B. & Lee, C. A representative article title. npj 2D Materials and Applications 12, 45–58 (2023).
