Monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has attracted great interest due to its potential applications in electronics and optoelectronics. Ideally, single-crystal growth over a large area is necessary preserve intrinsic figure of merit but very challenging achieve. Here, we report an oxygen-assisted chemical vapor deposition method for monolayer MoS2. We found that the MoS2 domains can be greatly improved by introducing small amount oxygen into environment. Triangular achieved with sizes up...

Significance Charge density waves (CDWs) are observed in many solids, especially low-dimensional systems. Their existence was first predicted the 1930s by Rudolf Peierls, who prophesied that CDWs would exist an ideal one-dimensional (1D) chain of atoms, lowering energy system and driving a reconstruction lattice. In 1959, Walter Kohn pointed out this nesting results what is now known as “Kohn anomaly,” simultaneous softening coherent lattice vibrations, i.e., phonon softening. This simple...

The dream of room temperature superconductors has inspired intense research effort to find routes for enhancing the superconducting transition (Tc). Therefore, single-layer FeSe on a SrTiO3 substrate, with its extraordinarily high Tc amongst all interfacial and iron based superconductors, is particularly interesting, but mechanism underlying remained mysterious. Here we show through isotope effects that electrons in couple oxygen phonons superconductivity enhanced linearly coupling strength...

Charge density wave (CDW) is an important concept in condensed matter physics, germane to a number of physical phenomena. But the origin CDW still under debate, partly because and properties are highly material-dependent. The has been applied many materials without clear definition fundamental nature CDW. As result, misconceptions about can be seen literature. In this review, we will try describe explain possible existing associated with CDWs.

Abstract Phonon splitting of the longitudinal and transverse optical modes (LO-TO splitting), a ubiquitous phenomenon in three-dimensional polar materials, will break down two-dimensional (2D) systems. Theoretical predictions propose that LO phonon 2D monolayers becomes degenerate with TO phonon, displaying distinctive “V-shaped” nonanalytic behavior near center Brillouin zone. However, full experimental verification these behaviors has been lacking. Here, using monolayer hexagonal boron...
