Ultra-Large Single-crystal WS2 Monolayer. New technique opens a possibility to replace silicon with 2D materials in semiconducting technology.

Scientists at Rice University have discovered that tiny creases in two-dimensional (2D) materials can control electron spin ...

WS2 is a transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD), a material with properties that make it appealing for applications like quantum emitters, devices that can produce a single photon at a time and ...

A new technical paper titled “WS2 Transistors with Sulfur Atoms Being Replaced at the Interface: First-Principles Quantum-Transport Study” was published by researchers at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung ...

2D materials combine the weak van der Waals (vdW) out-of-plane interactions with the strong covalent in-plane bonding. These materials show excellent conductive, thermoelectric, optical, ...

The physics of such a world is somewhat akin to that of modern 2D materials, such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides, which include tungsten disulfide (WS2), tungsten diselenide ...

However, unlike silicon, WS2 can exist in a stable 2D form. We arranged the WS2 material in a new way to create a 3D arrangement of 2D sheets that we call a nanomesh.

(Nanowerk News) As silicon based semiconducting technology is approaching the limit of its performance, new materials that may replace or partially replace silicon in technology is highly desired. A ...

Reporting in the International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, researchers from McGill University, University of Illinois, and University of Science and Technology of China broadly reviewed the ...

One characteristic that both materials share could benefit quantum computing: In both WS2 and WSe2, electrons populating the two energy valleys have opposite spins, a form of angular momentum.
