The ability to electrically control magnetism in a gate dielectric is demonstrated by physicists at North Carolina State University.
Anisotropic interlayer coupling in atomically thin ReS2
Atomically thin transition-metal-dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have recently attracted a lot of research interest. Like graphene, they can be prepared as two-dimensional crystals by exfoliation. Unlike graphene, they are semiconductors with large band gaps, which make them...
Carbononics – a new special issue in pss RRL
A Carbononics special issue in pss RRL – integrating electronics, photonics and spintronics with graphene quantum dots.
Shallow donor in natural MoS2
Molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) has recently emerged as one of the most promising two-dimensional semiconductors. Impressive field-effect transistors, integrated circuits, phototransistors and sensors based on single and multilayers exfoliated from natural MoS2 have been...
Magnetisation dynamics in superlattices
Razdolski et al. observed oscillations in magneto-optical response of magnetically coupled multilayers, opening new horizons for magnetic media applications
Charge correlations in cobaltates
Guo et al. reported on a systematic elastic neutron scattering study of the charge correlations in La2CoO4 as a function of Sr-doping.
Excitons in metal-halide perovskites
Menendez-Proupin et al. study excitons in metal-halide perovskites using the effective mass approximation providing better agreement with the experiment.
Optical spectroscopy reveals biexcitons in monolayer tungstenite
A group of scientists at the University of Regensburg have studied the photoluminescence of gated monolayer WS2 flakes and identified the biexciton emission
