Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted lots of interest because their potential for electronic and optoelectronic applications. Atomically thin TMD flakes were believed capable to scroll into nanoscrolls (NSs) with distinct properties. However, limited by mechanical strength chemical stability, production high-quality NSs remains challenging. Here, we vapor deposition-grown monolayer in situ 5 s a nearly 100% yield only one droplet ethanol solution. An obvious...
Some magnetic systems display a shift in the center of their hysteresis loop away from zero field, phenomenon termed exchange bias. Despite extensive use bias effect, particularly multilayers, for design spin-based memory/electronics devices, comprehensive mechanistic understanding this effect remains longstanding problem. Recent work has shown that disorder-induced spin frustration might play key role bias, suggesting new materials approaches electronic devices harness effect. Here, we...
Abstract The construction of thin film heterostructures has been a widely successful archetype for fabricating materials with emergent physical properties. This strategy is particular importance the design multilayer magnetic architectures in which direct interfacial spin-spin interactions between phases dissimilar layers lead to and controllable behavior. However, crystallographic incommensurability atomic-scale disorder can severely limit types amenable this strategy, as well performance...
It has been generally accepted that iron-group metals (iron, cobalt, nickel) consistently show the highest catalytic activity for growth of carbon nanomaterials, including nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene. However, it still remains a challenge them to obtain uniform graphene, because their high solubility, which can be attributed an uncontrollable precipitation in cooling process. The quality uniformity graphene grown on low-cost determine whether put into mass productions or not. Here, we...
Abstract The high‐contrast optical imaging of nearly transparent 2D materials such as clays and some oxide sheets has been an outstanding challenge; yet there is a critical research capability needed in the synthesis processing these materials, which show promise number applications including barrier coatings, membranes, composites. Using delaminated silicate clay titania model systems, here it shown that weakly quenching, can be readily imaged by fluorescence quenching microscopy (FQM)...
