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 (Ω(k)∼0) that inhibits various potential transport phenomena. A nonzero Berry curvature (Ω(k)≠0) is imperative for the occurrence of several unconventional transport phenomena, including the anomalous Hall effect and the anomalous Nernst effect. To overcome this limitation, we break these symmetries in bilayer TMDCs using electrostatic gating and circularly polarized light as external means. For non-gated WSe2 bilayers, circularly polarized light breaks TR symmetry, creating a finite Berry curvature signal in both conduction and valence bands, controllable by light intensity and its polarity. In gated WSe2 bilayers, where inversion symmetry is also broken, we observe a sign reversal in Berry curvature within the conduction bands, the extent of which depends on the relative strengths of the electric gating and light intensity. Overall, under finite bias and light intensity, the 2H bilayers of WSe2 exhibits finite spin Hall, valley Hall, and anomalous Hall conductivities, which depend on the strengths of the applied perturbations.

This perspective article presents the current state of interlaboratory studies in graphene and other 2D materials. These interlaboratory studies are mostly coordinated via the Versailles Project on Advanced Materials and Standards and are crucial in establishing robust and validated protocols for measuring key properties of these materials. These protocols can then be included in international documentary standards. We summarise the key findings of completed studies and outline the approach of those that are currently underway. An outline of future needs is also presented, highlighting gaps in the current scope of activities and therefore where the focus of future studies should be.

We calculate the orbital magnetization of 822 two-dimensional magnetic materials from the Computational 2D Materials Database (C2DB). For compounds containing 5d elements we find orbital moments of the order of 0.3–0.5 μB, which points to the necessity of including these in any type of magnetic modeling and comparison with experiments. It is also shown that the alignment of orbital moments with respect to the spin largely follows the predictions from Hund’s rule and that deviations may be explained by the d-band splitting originating from the crystal field—for example in the important case of CrI3. Finally, we show that for certain insulators, Hubbard corrections may lead to large and fully unquenched orbital moments that are pinned to the lattice rather than the spin and that these moments can lead to enormous magnetic anisotropies. Such unquenched ground states are only found from density functional theory calculations that include both Hubbard corrections and self-consistent spin–orbit coupling and largely invalidates the use of the magnetic force theorem for calculating magnetic anisotropies.

The complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor has become essential and ubiquitous in our daily lives as it is present in almost every pocket. As demand for compact, multifunction, and high-efficiency Internet of Things applications continues to rise, novel configuration designs and manufacturing methods, such as neural network integration and 3D stacking have been implemented to enhance the CMOS image sensor’s (CIS) performance. However, the progress of image sensors based on silicon CMOS technology would eventually be limited by the intrinsic optical, electrical, and mechanical properties of silicon material. This has led to the exploration of two-dimensional materials (2DMs) and the emergence of 2DMs as promising candidates for the next generation of optoelectronic devices. In this article, we discuss the current advancements and challenges associated with silicon CISs and the potential benefits of incorporating 2DMs in the image sensor. We highlight three critical opportunities for 2DMs, including Si CMOS/2DMs hybrid structure and direct growth techniques of 2DMs on Si for back-end-of-line integration, 2DMs-based neuromorphic photodetectors (PDs) and optical neural networks for in-image-sensor-processing, and curved image sensor based on 2DMs PDs for bionic detection. With the growing maturity of 2DM technologies, we anticipate that the device scaling and the increase of integration density of 2DM electronics in the image sensor will continue, leading to the development of highly efficient, compact, intelligent, and versatile 2DM image sensors in the near future.

WSe2 is a p-type 2D-semiconductor that can be mechanically exfoliated down to atomic layers. Unlike the Bernal stacked bilayer graphene, the two layers in a bilayer WSe2 flake are weakly coupled. The electric displacement field can easily break the layer degeneracy of the bilayer WSe2. Together with the strong spin–orbit coupling, it exhibits many novel quantum physical properties. In this work, we fabricate high quality dual-gated bilayer WSe2 devices and observe twofold degenerate Landau levels(LLs) and density-dependent quantum Hall states which show transitions between even and odd filling. When introducing carriers into the system from the valence band edge by gating, two WSe2 layers are filled independently and the bottom layer WSe2 shows negative compressibility at the crossover point. Above 9 T, we observe the degeneracy of LLs is completely broken and there are two sets of LL crossings in the top WSe2 layer at Zeeman-to-cyclotron energy ratio EZ/EN ≈ 4 and EZ/EN ≈ 5. The interplay between two LLs from the two WSe2 layers confirms the weak coupling between them. Our results show that the bilayer WSe2 behave like two closely packed independent electronic systems under electric displacement fields.

Fused deposition modeling 3D printing provides a cost-effective and streamlined method for producing electrochemical sensors, overcoming the challenges associated with material selection, complex fabrication processes, and reproducibility issues. This study introduces an innovative approach utilizing a dual-printer setup to simplify the manufacturing of sensor electrodes. A critical enhancement in this process is the surface modification with reduced graphene oxide (rGO), which not only improves the electrochemical characteristics but also induces a wrinkled structure on the 3D printed surface. These wrinkles significantly increase the surface area, directly boosting the electrode’s electrochemical performance. Comprehensive characterization of the electrode surfaces, both before and after rGO modification, demonstrates a substantial increase in sensitivity, with a fortyfold improvement observed in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) amperometric measurements. This breakthrough paves the way for advanced applications in 3D printed electrochemical sensors.

Graphene, a remarkable material with exceptional properties, has been at the forefront of extensive scientific research in the past two decades, leading to a vast array of proposed applications. The material’s structural strength, superior thermal and electrical conductivity, anti-corrosion properties, and versatile sensor capabilities has made it an exceedingly desirable option for various functions in the nuclear industry. However, despite the increasing interest in graphene’s potential uses in the nuclear industry, a comprehensive and detailed review of its possible applications in this context is still missing. This article endeavours to bridge this gap by presenting a thorough analysis of the potential applications of graphene in the nuclear industry. Specifically, its applications to pre-reactor treatments, fuel enrichment, heavy water preparation, filtration, radionuclide waste conditioning, monitoring through sensors, augmented heat transfer and corrosion prevention. These areas offer numerous opportunities for graphene-based materials to enhance the efficiency, safety, and reliability of nuclear power plants. This article not only illuminates the exciting opportunities of graphene usage in the nuclear field but also serves as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers and stakeholders seeking to leverage the unique properties of graphene to drive innovation and advancement in the nuclear industry.
