This figure illustrates the mechanism of bilayer interface engineering, combining 2D/3D heterojunctions with surface dipoles, to enhance charge extraction and defect passivation. Performance ...

Firstly, how do you measure the atomic positions at, and near, the interface? Secondly, what are the differences between a 3D-2D and a 2D-2D interface? And thirdly, how you might control it -- is ...

Hoping to develop a deeper understanding of 2D interfaces and interface engineering, in a new paper in ACS Nano ("Are 2D Interfaces Really Flat?"), researchers reveal the intricacy of various 2D ...

Northwestern Engineering researchers have created two-dimensional (2D) heterostructures from two of these materials ... microscope and found that the electronic transition across the interface was ...

particularly in understanding and engineering charge transport where the 2D material meets the 3D material. “Our study provides critical insights into the energy band structure and charge transport ...

The presence of surfactant molecules or colloidal particles at fluid interfaces gives the interface distinct properties in response ... enabling the development of ordered anisotropic 2D monolayers.

In initial tests, the researchers found that their strain engineering approach enabled an enhancement in the performance of 2D MoS 2 transistors, while also reducing both transistor channels and ...

This could unlock a new approach to re-engineering the properties of conventional bulk materials using a single 2D interface. "This method could become a really rich playground for studying ...
