Photothermal property in MoS₂ nanoflakes: theoretical and experimental comparison

Thermo-optic refraction in MoS2 medium for “Normally on” all optical switch

“…A monolayer MoS2 has two planes of hexagonally arranged sulfur atoms and one plane of hexagonally arranged molybdenum atoms sandwiched between them [1]. MoS2 is attractive due to its good thermodynamic [2], mechanical [3], optical properties [4] [5] and semiconducting nature [6]. Owing to this, 2D MoS2 finds its application in Biosensing [7], microelectronics [8], optoelectronics [9], catalysis [10], lubrication and non-linear optics [11] [12].…”

Theoretical Studies of MoS2 and Phosphorene Drug Delivery for Antituberculosis Drugs

“…25 The latter becomes important because the comprehension of the interactions of drug molecules with the layered materials can facilitate the process of developing biologically friendly materials for dispersing conjugated hybrid medicine complexes, sensing/imaging the biomedicine, and silencing the genes. In recent years, experimental studies have explored the 2D materials such as graphene, 25 MoS 2, 21,26 and phosphorene 27 for drug delivery and targeting in tumor therapy, and they are pursued as potential candidates for the nextgeneration nanobiotechnology. However, understanding the subtle mechanism of the drug molecular loading/unloading process in the 2D materials and precise control over the drug releasing are rather limited.…”

“…Among all types of advanced 2D materials, the MoS 2 and phosphorene have many potential applications in electronics and optoelectronics due to their direct band gap with high carrier mobility and fast optical response. They also stand out in biomedical applications due to their large loading capacity and strong light absorbance in the near-infrared (NIR) window of 700–1300 nm, which is transparent for normal biological tissues and has high photothermal conversion efficiency in abnormal tumor tissues. ,,, The phosphorene nanosheet, in particular, is attractive due to its nontoxic final degradation products and inherent biocompatibility as P is one of the vital elements of the human body and constructs 1% of the body weight in the form of bone. ,,, …”

Thermal boundary conductance of CVD-grown MoS2 monolayer-on-silica substrate determined by scanning thermal microscopy

“…With the advent of atomically thin materials, different thermal characterization techniques have been extrapolated from bulk to nanostructured materials. Techniques such as the 3ω method 13 , photothermal characterization 14 , as well as Raman thermometry 15 , have been efficiently translated for thermal conductivity measurements of such materials. Some of the techniques require depositing metallic contacts onto the samples 16 , which is unfeasible for certain configurations of the systems, or high-frequency equipment 17 with assumptions on the (ideal) optical absorption.…”
