AbstractDiffering from its bulk counterparts, atomically thin two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides that show strong interaction with light are considered as new candidates for optoelectronic devices. Either physical or chemical strategies can be utilized to effectively tune the intrinsic electronic structures for adopting optoelectronic applications. This review will focus on the different tuning strategies that include its physics principles, in situ experimental techniques, and its application of various optoelectronic devices.
Two-dimensional
(2D) magnets have raised enormous attention because
of their stable long-range magnetic orders and anomalous magnetic
physics at 2D limits. Spin glass states are normally discovered in
disordered systems with spin frustration, which are rarely found in
2D crystalline materials. Here, the chemical vapor-deposited rhombohedral
Cr2Se3 nanosheets could be grown down to a thickness
of 1.9 nm, which have shown a hard magnetism of large coercivity of
1.5 kOe and exhibited thermal irreversibility. A spin glass state
with a freezing temperature of 28 K can be estimated from an alternating-current
magnetic susceptibility survey, in which unambiguous magnetic response
evidence of a spin glass state in crystalline Cr2Se3 nanosheets was shown. An extracted short relaxation time
of 10–13 s and atomic magnetic frustration that
were confirmed by neutron diffraction could strongly suggest the spin
glass state with an atomically short-range magnetic order in the Cr2Se3 nanosheets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
