We investigated interlayer modes of few-layer HfX2 (X = S, Se) by using low-frequency micro-Raman spectroscopy with three excitation energies (1.96 eV, 2.33 eV, 2.54 eV) under vacuum condition (∼10−6Torr). We observed interlayer modes in HfSe2 when the 2.54 eV excitation energy was used. The low-frequency Raman spectra reveal a series of shear and breathing modes (<50 cm−1) that are helpful for identifying the number of layers. The in-plane Eg and out-of-plane A1g modes of HfSe2 are located at ∼150 cm−1 and ∼200 cm−1, respectively. In HfS2, in-plane Eg and out-of-plane A1g optical phonons are observed at ∼260 cm−1 and ∼337 cm−1, respectively. The in-plane and out-of-plane force constants of atomically thin HfSe2 are obtained to be 1.87 × 1019N m−3 and 6.55 × 1019N m−3, respectively, by fitting the observed interlayer modes using the linear chain model. These results provide valuable information on materials parameters for device designs using atomically-thin layered HfX2 (X = S, Se).

Hybrid systems coupling two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors with functional ferroelectrics are attracting increasing attention owing to their excellent electronic/optoelectronic properties and new functionalities through the multiple heterointerface interactions. In our device architecture, interfacial states are introduced on the ferroelectric Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 thin film as a gate dielectric layer for the charge trapping effect. Utilizing the collaborative effects of charge trapping and ferroelectric polarization behavior, a multifunctional 2D WSe2/HZO memtransistor is demonstrated with an ultra-low off-state (dark) current of 10−13 A, high on/off ratio of 106 and linear conductance update. This device exhibits reliable memory properties and tunable synaptic functions including short-term plasticity/long-term plasticity, paired pulse facilitation, spike-timing dependent plasticity, synaptic potentiation/depression, and filtering in a single device. Extensive endurance tests ensure robust stability (1000 switching cycles, 2000 s holding time) and the synaptic weight update in the device exhibits excellent linearity. Based on the experimental data, our devices eventually achieve an accuracy of 94.8% in artificial neural network simulations. These results highlight a new approach for constructing hybrid systems coupling 2D semiconductors with functional ferroelectrics in a single device to tune synaptic weight, optimize circuit design, and build artificial neuromorphic computing systems.

Magnetoresistance (MR) refers to the alteration in electrical resistance within a material when influenced by a magnetic field. Studying MR at the atomic level holds a significant interest both in fundamental research and practical applications. Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals materials and their heterostructures offer an unprecedented platform to investigate MR, thanks to the very broad range of properties and no requirement for lattice matching. Here, we review the various mechanisms of MR effect in 2D materials and their heterostructures, including tunneling MR, extremely large unsaturated MR, layer MR, and colossal MR, as well as explore their potential in device applications. Furthermore, we discuss the limitations and main challenges that still exist for the development of practical devices based on MR and provide our considerations towards real applications.

Among a huge variety of known two-dimensional (2D) materials, some of them have anisotropic crystal structures; examples include different systems such as a few-layer black phosphorus (phosphorene), beryllium nitride BeN4, the van der Waals magnet CrSBr, and rhenium dichalcogenides ReX2. As a consequence, their optical and electronic properties are highly anisotropic as well. In some cases, the anisotropy results in not only smooth renormalization of observable properties in comparison with the isotropic case, but in the appearance of dramatically new physics. The examples are hyperbolic plasmons and excitons, strongly anisotropic ordering of adatoms at the surface of 2D or van der Waals materials, and essential changes in transport and superconducting properties. Here, we present a systematic review of the electronic structure, transport, and optical properties of several representative groups of anisotropic 2D materials, including semiconductors, anisotropic Dirac and semi-Dirac materials, and superconductors.

Unlike single layers of 2H transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), bilayers of 2H TMDCs maintain inversion and time reversal (TR) symmetries, resulting in a vanishing Berry curvature (
