If they could be easily exfoliated, layered materials would become a diverse source of two-dimensional crystals whose properties useful in applications ranging from electronics to energy storage. We show that compounds such as MoS(2), WS(2), MoSe(2), MoTe(2), TaSe(2), NbSe(2), NiTe(2), BN, and Bi(2)Te(3) can efficiently dispersed common solvents deposited individual flakes or formed into films. Electron microscopy strongly suggests the material is exfoliated layers. By blending this with...
Abstract There is an emergent demand for high-flexibility, high-sensitivity and low-power strain gauges capable of sensing small deformations vibrations in extreme conditions. Enhancing the gauge factor remains one greatest challenges sensors. This typically limited to below 300 set when sensor fabricated. We report a strategy tune enhance sensors based on Van der Waals materials by tuning carrier mobility concentration through interplay piezoelectric photoelectric effects. For SnS 2 we up...
SnSe2 is an anisotropic binary-layered material with rich physics, which could see it used for a variety of potential applications. Here, we investigate the gas-sensing properties using first-principles calculations and verify predictions gas sensor made few-layer grown by chemical vapor deposition. Theoretical simulations indicate that electrons transfer from to NO2, whereas direction charge opposite NH3. Notably, flat molecular band appears around Fermi energy after NO2 adsorption induced...
Studies of the angular dependence anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) are reported for epitaxial films magnetite $({\text{Fe}}_{3}{\text{O}}_{4})$ grown on MgO(001) and also single crystals magnetite. The characteristic feature AMR is a twofold symmetry at temperatures above 200 K. As samples cooled below K, an additional set peaks appears. These become dominant lower showing overall fourfold symmetry. Observation anisotropy in points to formation charge ordering much greater than Verwey...
Magnetization studies on well characterized epitaxial magnetite $({\text{Fe}}_{3}{\text{O}}_{4})$ thin films grown MgO(100) show that the ultrathin ($<5\text{ }\text{nm}$ thickness) are ferromagnetic and their magnetic moments much greater than those of bulk magnetite, particularly at a thickness 20 nm or below. The observation nature in $(<5\text{ }\text{nm})$ is contrast to previously accepted dead layer interface model superparamagnetic behavior for magnetite. From detailed spin-polarized...
We observe a strong crystallographic direction dependence on the low-field magnetoresistance (MR) behavior of epitaxial Fe${}_{3}$${\mathrm{O}}_{4}$ (110) films grown MgO substrates. The sign MR is positive when current and field are parallel to [001], whereas along $[\stackrel{\underline{}}{1}10]$ its negative, similarly that commonly observed for (100) oriented films. relate this effect presence antiphase boundaries (APB) subsequent reduction in width canted spin structure vicinity, due...
van der Waals heterojunctions with tunable polarity are being actively explored for more Moore and more-than-Moore device applications, as they can greatly simplify circuit design. However, inadequate control over the multifunctional operational states is still a challenge in their development. Here, we show that vertically stacked InSe/SnS2 heterojunction exhibits type-II band alignment, its be tuned by an external electric field wavelength intensity of illuminated light source. Moreover,...

We have investigated the interlayer exchange coupling between epitaxial spinel Fe3O4 layers across an insulating nonmagnetic MgO spacer. The structure used for these investigations was (10nm)∕MgO (0.8–3nm)∕Fe3O4 (10nm)∕NiO (15nm) multilayers grown on (100) substrates. find that two are antiferromagnetic coupled through spacer when thickness is less than 1.5nm. Furthermore, ab initio calculation of IEC Fe∕MgO∕Fe indicates importance electrode states, in particular, partial oxidation...
