Abstract Two-dimensional piezotronics will benefit from the emergence of new crystals featuring high piezoelectric coefficients. Gallium phosphate (GaPO 4 ) is an archetypal material, which does not naturally crystallise in a stratified structure and hence cannot be exfoliated using conventional methods. Here, we report low-temperature liquid metal-based two-dimensional printing synthesis strategy to achieve this goal. We exfoliate surface print interfacial oxide layer gallium, followed by...

High dielectric constant (high-k) ultrathin films are required as insulating gate materials. The well-known high-k dielectrics, including HfO2, ZrO2, and SrTiO3, feature three-dimensional lattice structures thus not easily obtained in the form of distinct sheets. Therefore, their deposition layers still imposes challenges for electronic industries. Consequently, new nanomaterials with k range 40 to 100 a band gap exceeding 4 eV highly sought after. Antimony oxide nanosheets appear potential...

Ultrathin transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) are emerging candidates for next-generation electronics. Indium oxide (In2O3) incorporated with post-transition-metal ions (e.g., Sn) has been widely studied due to their excellent optical transparency and electrical conductivity. However, electron transport properties deteriorated at the ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) morphology compared that of intrinsic In2O3. Here, we explore domain transition-metal dopants in In2O3 thicknesses down...

Excitation wavelength-dependent photoluminescence (PL) in two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal chalcogenides enables a strong excitonic interaction for high-performance chemical and biological sensing applications. In this work, we explore the possible candidates domain of post-transition-metal chalcogenides. Few-layered 2D p-type tin monosulfide (SnS) nanoflakes with submicrometer lateral dimensions are synthesized from liquid phase exfoliation bulk crystals. PL is found, radiative...

The library of two-dimensional materials is limited since many transition metal compounds are not stratified and can thus be easily isolated as nanosheets. Liquid metal-based synthesis provides a new approach to overcome this limitation.

Ultrathin transparent semiconducting oxides have attracted considerable attention in multifunctional electronic and optoelectronic devices, owing to their exciting physical properties excellent stability. However, due wide bandgap, absorption the visible region is very limited. Here, we show enhanced light–matter interactions by integrating plasmonic gold nanoparticles onto ultrathin SnO2 nanosheets, leading higher optical spectra. In this work, a vacuum-free liquid metal printing technique...

Abstract Diamond color centers (optically active defects) can be used for all‐optical thermometry non‐invasive and localized temperature measurements. The visible to near‐infrared photoluminescence of these defects is greatly attenuated in optical fibres biological samples therefore limits their use.
