Here, we report the effects of enhanced magnetic fields resulting from type-II superconducting NbTiN slabs adjacent to narrow Hall bar devices fabricated from epitaxial graphene. Observed changes in the magnetoresistances were found to have minimal contributions from device inhomogeneities, magnet hysteresis, electron density variations along the devices, and transient phenomena. We hypothesize that Abrikosov vortices, present in type-II superconductors, contribute to these observations. By determining the London penetration depth, coupled with elements of Ginzburg-Landau theory, one can approximate an upper bound on the effect that vortex densities at low fields (< 1T) have on the reported observations. These analyses offer insights into device fabrication and how to utilize the Meissner effect for any low-field and low-temperature applications using superconductors.

The miniaturization of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is pivotal in ultrahigh-resolution displays. Metal-halide perovskites promise efficient light emission, long-range carrier transport and scalable manufacturing for bright microscale LED (micro-LED) displays. However, thin-film perovskites with inhomogeneous spatial distribution of light emission and unstable surface under lithography are incompatible with the micro-LED devices.

Two-dimensional in-plane transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) junctions have a range of potential applications in next-generation electronic devices. However, limited by the difficulties in ion implantation on 2D systems, the fabrication of the in-plane TMD junctions still relies on the lateral epitaxy of different materials, which always induces lattice mismatch and interfacial scattering. Here, we report the in-plane TMD junction formed with monolayer (ML) PtTe at the boundary of ML and bilayer graphene on SiC.

The recently emerged remote epitaxy technique, utilizing 2D materials (mostly graphene) as interlayers between the epilayer and the substrate, enables the exfoliation of crystalline nanomembranes from the substrate, expanding the range of potential device applications. However, remote epitaxy has been so far applied to a limited range of material systems, owing to the need of stringent growth conditions to avoid graphene damaging, and has therefore remained challenging for the synthesis of oxide nanomembranes. Here, we demonstrate the remote epitaxial growth of an oxide nanomembrane (vanadium dioxide, VO) with a sub-nanometer thick amorphous interlayer, which can withstand potential sputtering-induced damage and oxidation.

Time-reversal symmetry breaking of a topological insulator phase generates zero-field edge modes which are the hallmark of the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) and of possible value for dissipation-free switching or non-reciprocal microwave devices. But present material systems exhibiting the QAHE, such as magnetically doped bismuth telluride and twisted bilayer graphene, are intrinsically unstable, limiting their scalability. A pristine magnetic oxide at the surface of a TI would leave the TI structure intact and stabilize the TI surface, but epitaxy of an oxide on the lower-melting-point chalcogenide presents a particular challenge.

Controllably modulating the structure of transition-metal chalcogenides (TMCs) from 2D to 1D and tuning their electronic properties has drawn particular attention currently due to their remarkable properties and potential applications. In this work, by precisely controlling the chemical concentration of Te atoms, the transformation from the 2D honeycomb AgTe monolayer to high-quality and well-defined 1D AgTe nanowires on the Ag(111) substrate has been successfully achieved. The combination of scanning tunneling microscopy measurements and first-principles calculations has confirmed that the mechanism underlying the entire dimensional transformation lies in the directional movement of Ag atoms in the 2D AgTe monolayer regulated by the concentration of Te atoms.
