MoTe_{2} monolayers and bilayers are unique within the family of van der Waals materials since they pave the way toward atomically thin infrared light-matter quantum interfaces, potentially reaching the important telecommunication windows. Here, we report emergent exciton polaritons based on MoTe_{2} monolayers and bilayers in a low-temperature open microcavity in a joint experiment-theory study. Our experiments clearly evidence both the enhanced oscillator strength and enhanced luminescence of MoTe_{2} bilayers, signified by a 38% increase of the Rabi splitting and a strongly enhanced relaxation of polaritons to low-energy states. The latter is distinct from polaritons in MoTe_{2} monolayers, which feature a bottlenecklike relaxation inhibition. Both the polaritonic spin valley locking in monolayers and the spin-layer locking in bilayers are revealed via the Zeeman effect, which we map and control via the light-matter composition of our polaritonic resonances.

Multiple-exciton generation (MEG) represents an effective strategy to break the Shockley-Queisser (SQ) limit, thereby enhancing the efficiency of photon-to-electron conversion. Here, we investigate MEG in monolayer MoTe, with an energy threshold of 2.22 eV (∼2.

Rapid validation of newly predicted materials through autonomous synthesis requires real-time adaptive control methods that exploit physics knowledge, a capability that is lacking in most systems. Here, we demonstrate an approach to enable real-time control of thin film synthesis by combining optical diagnostics with a Bayesian state estimation method. We developed a physical model for film growth and applied the direct filter (DF) method for real-time estimation of nucleation and growth rates during pulsed laser deposition (PLD).

The substantial structural defects frequently observed in fabricated transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) samples inevitably affect the device performance. The molybdenum telluride (MoTe) monolayer can easily generate phase transitions between the 1H and 1T' phases due to a small energy barrier. However, distinguishing and identifying various defects during experiments is challenging.

Integrating high-quality dielectrics with two-dimensional (2D) transition metal chalcogenides (TMDCs) is crucial for high-performance electronics. However, the lack of dangling bonds on 2D material surfaces complicates direct dielectric deposition. We propose using atomic layer deposition (ALD) to integrate ultrathin high-κ dielectric directly on 1T'-MoTe surfaces, facilitating the creation of high-performance back-gated field-effect transistors (FETs).

This study investigates the adsorption characteristics of the pristine MoTe monolayer and the metal atom (Co, V, W, Zr)-modified MoTe monolayer on the hazardous gases CO, CHCHO, and CH based on the density functional theory. The adsorption mechanism was studied from the perspectives of molecular density differences, band structures, molecular orbitals, and the density of states. Research analysis showed that the changes in conductivity caused by the adsorption of different gases on the substrate were significantly different, which can be used to prepare gas sensing materials with selective sensitivity for CO, CHCHO, and CH.
