Article Synopsis
- - Phenol/croton oil is a powerful chemical peel used for deep skin resurfacing, promoting skin renewal, but its risks and effectiveness have not been widely researched.
- - A study involving 64 patients treated from 2014 to 2023 showed significant improvements in wrinkles and acne scars, with successful treatment of seborrheic keratosis while highlighting the mild and reversible nature of any side effects.
- - Despite its efficacy in skin rejuvenation, the use of phenol/croton oil should be approached with caution due to possible complications associated with the procedure.
Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful, non-destructive technique for enhancing molecular spectra, first discovered in 1974. This study investigates the enhancement of Raman signals from single- and few-layer molybdenum disulfide (MoS) when interacting with silver nanoparticles. We synthesized a MoS membrane primarily consisting of monolayers and bilayers through a wet chemical vapor deposition method using metal salts.

- Nanoscale-engineered surfaces can create controlled strain in 2D materials, like WS, which may enhance photonic applications and quantum information processing.
- This study explores how texture-induced strain in single-layer WS on a specific substrate (Si/SiO) affects its optical properties, using techniques such as Atomic Force Microscopy and Raman spectroscopy.
- Findings reveal that suspended WS areas maintain circular polarization at higher temperatures compared to supported regions, emphasizing the importance of substrate choice for the performance of 2D materials in optoelectronic devices.
Biaxial Strain Transfer in Monolayer MoS and WSe Transistor Structures.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces
September 2024
Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides are intensely explored as active materials in 2D material-based devices due to their potential to overcome device size limitations, sub-nanometric thickness, and robust mechanical properties. Considering their large band gap sensitivity to mechanical strain, single-layered TMDs are well-suited for strain-engineered devices. While the impact of various types of mechanical strain on the properties of a variety of TMDs has been studied in the past, TMD-based devices have rarely been studied under mechanical deformations, with uniaxial strain being the most common one.
