On a single ZnO nanowire (NW), we fabricated an inverter-type device comprising a Schottky diode (SD) and field-effect transistor (FET), aiming at 1-dimensional (1D) electronic circuits with low power consumption. The SD and adjacent FET worked respectively as the load and driver, so that voltage signals could be easily extracted as the output. In addition, NW FET with a transparent conducting oxide as top gate turned out to be very photosensitive, although ZnO NW SD was blind to visible light. Based on this, we could achieve an array of photo-inverter cells on one NW. Our non-classical inverter is regarded as quite practical for both logic and photo-sensing due to its performance as well as simple device configuration.

Van der Waals electrode integration is a promising strategy to create nearly perfect interfaces between metals and 2D materials, with advantages such as eliminating Fermi-level pinning and reducing contact resistance. However, the lack of a simple, generalizable pick-and-place transfer technology has greatly hampered the wide use of this technique. We demonstrate the pick-and-place transfer of prefabricated electrodes from reusable polished hydrogenated diamond substrates without the use of any sacrificial layers due to the inherent low-energy and dangling-bond-free nature of the hydrogenated diamond surface.

Heterojunctions (HJs) based on two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides are considered promising candidates for next-generation electronic and optoelectronic devices. Here, vertical (V-type) and lateral (L-type) HJ diodes based on metallic 1T-VSe and semiconducting 2H-WSe with out-of-plane and in-plane contacts are designed. First-principles quantum transport simulations reveal that both V- and L-type VSe/WSe HJ diodes form p-type Schottky contacts.

GaO Schottky photodiodes are being actively explored for solar-blind ultraviolet (SBUV) detection, owing to the fast photoresponse and easy fabrication. However, their performance, limited by the Schottky contact, mostly underperforms the expectations. Herein, a Ni/β-GaO vertical Schottky barrier diode (SBD) with an ultrathin anode electrode is demonstrated.

Boasting superior flexibility in beam manipulation and a simpler framework than traditional phased arrays, terahertz metasurface-based phased arrays show great promise for 5G-A/6G communication networks. Compared with the reflective reconfigurable intelligent surface (reflective RIS), the transmissive RIS (TRIS) offers more feasibility for transceiver multiplexing systems to meet the growing demand for high-performance beam tracking in terahertz communication and radar systems. However, the terahertz TRIS encounters greater challenges in phase shift, beam efficiency, and complex circuitry.

Metal-organic gels (MOGs) are a type of supramolecular complex that have become highly intriguing due to their synergistic combination of inorganic and organic elements. We report the synthesis and characterization of a Ni-directed supramolecular gel using chiral amino acid L-DOPA (3,4-dihydroxy phenylalanine) containing ligand, which coordinates with Ni(II) to form metal-organic gels with exceptional properties. The functional Ni(II)-gel was synthesized by heating nickel(II) acetate hexahydrate and the L-DOPA containing ligand in DMSO at 70 °C.
