Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide materials have created avenues for exciting physics with unique electronic and photonic applications. Among these materials, molybdenum disulfide is the most known due to extensive research in understanding its electronic and optical properties. In this paper, we report on the successful growth and modification of monolayer MoS (1L MoS) by controlling carrier concentration and manipulating bandgap in order to improve the efficiency of light emission. Atomic size MoS vacancies were created using a Helium Ion Microscope, then the defect sites were doped with 2,3,5,6-tetrafluro7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4TCNQ). The carrier concentration in intrinsic (as-grown) and engineered 1L MoS was calculated using Mass Action model. The results are in a good agreement with Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy as well as Kelvin probe force microscopy characterizations.

Monolayer MoS, a compound in two-dimensional TMDs, exhibits excellent physical and chemical properties due to its sandwich structure, making it widely used in the design of nanodevices. We investigated the impact of GaN substrates on the thermal and electronic properties of monolayer MoS. The results reveal that the polarity of the GaN substrate significantly affects the thermal conductivity of monolayer MoS.

This work presents a density functional theory (DFT) study of substitutional and adsorption-based halogen (I or F) doping of WS-based transistors to enhance their contact properties. Substitutional doping of the WS monolayer with halogens results in -type behavior, while halogen adsorption on the surface of the WS monolayer induces -type behavior. This is attributed to differing directions of charge flow, as supported by the Mulliken analysis.

Recent advances have uncovered an exotic sliding ferroelectric mechanism, which endows to design atomically thin ferroelectrics from non-ferroelectric parent monolayers. Although notable progress has been witnessed in understanding the fundamental properties, functional devices based on sliding ferroelectrics remain elusive. Here, we demonstrate the rewritable, non-volatile memories at room-temperature with a two-dimensional (2D) sliding ferroelectric semiconductor of rhombohedral-stacked bilayer MoS.

As the feature size of microelectronic circuits is scaling down to nanometer order, the increasing interconnect crosstalk, resistance-capacitance (RC) delay and power consumption can limit the chip performance and reliability. To address these challenges, new low-k dielectric (k < 2) materials need to be developed to replace current silicon dioxide (k = 3.9) or SiCOH, etc.

Incipient ferroelectricity bridges traditional dielectrics and true ferroelectrics, enabling advanced electronic and memory devices. Firstly, we report incipient ferroelectricity in freestanding SrTiO nanomembranes integrated with monolayer MoS to create multifunctional devices, demonstrating stable ferroelectric order at low temperatures for cryogenic memory devices. Our observation includes ultra-fast polarization switching (~10 ns), low switching voltage (<6 V), over 10 years of nonvolatile retention, 100,000 endurance cycles, and 32 conductance states (5-bit memory) in SrTiO-gated MoS transistors at 15 K and up to 100 K.
