Built upon the synthetic successes of(two-dimensional) 2D materials, several synthetic strategies of vdWHs have been developed,allowing the convenient fabrication of diverse vdWHs with decent controllability, quality, and scalability. This review first summarizes the current state of the art in synthetic strategies of vdWHs, including physical combination, deposition, solvothermal synthesis, and synchronous evolution. Then three major applications and their representative vdWH devices have been reviewed, including electronics(tunneling field effect transistors and 2D contact),optoelectronics(photodetector), and energy conversion(electrocatalysts and metal ion batteries), to unveil the potentials of vdWHs in practical applications and provide the general design principles of functional vdWHs for different applications. Besides, moiré superlattices based on vdWHs are discussed to showcase the importance of vdWHs as a platform for novel condensed matter physics. Finally, the crucial challenges towards ideal vdWHs with high performance are discussed, and the outlook for future development is presented. By the systematical integration of synthetic strategies and applications, we hope this review can further light up the rational designs of vdWHs for emerging applications.展开更多

文摘Two-dimensional/one-dimensional(2D/1D)heterostructures as a new type of heterostructure have been studied for their unusual properties and promising applications in electronic and optoelectronic devices.However,the studies of 2D/1D heterostructures are mainly focused on vertical heterostructures,such as MoS_(2) nanosheet-carbon nanotubes.The research on lateral 2D/1D heterostructures with a tunable width of 1D material is still scarce.In this study,bidirectional flow chemical vapor deposition(CVD)was used to accurately control the width of the WS_(2)/WSe2(WS_(2)/MoS_(2))heterostructures by controlling reacting time.WSe2 and MoS_(2) with different widths were epitaxially grown at the edge of WS_(2),respectively.Optical microscope,atomic force microscope(AFM),and scanning electron microscope(SEM)images show the morphology and width of the heterostructures.These results show that the width of the heterostructures can be as low as 10 nm by using this method.The interface of the heterostructure is clear and smooth,which is suitable for application.This report offers a new method for the growth of 1D nanowires,and lays the foundation for the future study of the physical and chemical properties of 2D/1D lateral heterostructures.
文摘Since the successful fabrication of two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetic (FM) monolayer CrI3 and Cr2Ge2Te6, 2D FM materials are becoming an exciting research topic in condensed matter physics and materials fields, as they provide a good platform to explore the fundamental physical properties of magnetic materials under 2D limit. In this review, we summarize the theoretical research progress of intrinsic 2D FM materials and related van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) including their electronic structures, magnetism, Curie temperature, valley polarization, and band alignment. Moreover, we also summarize recent researches on the methods that used to regulate the above properties of 2D FM materials and vdWHs, such as defects, doping, strain, electric field and interlayer coupling. These studies show that 2D FM materials have broad application prospects in spintronics and valleytronics. However, there are still many problems waiting to be solved on the way to practical application.

文摘With the development of Moore's law, the future trend of devices will inevitably be shrinking and integration to further achieve size reduction. The emergence of new two-dimensional non-layered materials(2DNLMs) not only enriches the 2D material family to meet future development, but also stimulates the global enthusiasm for basic research and application technologies in the 2D field. Van der Waals(vd W) heterostructures, in which two-dimensional layered materials(2DLMs)are physically stacked layer by layer, can also occur between 2DLMs and 2DNLMs hybrid heterostructures, providing an alternative platform for nanoelectronics and optoelectronic applications. Here, we outline the recent developments of2DLMs/2DNLMs hybrid heterostructures, with particular emphasis on major advances in synthetic methods and applications. And the categories and crystal structures of 2DLMs and 2DNLMs are also shown. We highlight some promising applications of the heterostructures in electronics, optoelectronics, and catalysis. Finally, we provide conclusions and future prospects in the 2D materials field.

文摘Van der Waals heterostructures(vdWHs) are showing considerable potential in both fundamental exploration and practical applications. Built upon the synthetic successes of(two-dimensional) 2D materials, several synthetic strategies of vdWHs have been developed,allowing the convenient fabrication of diverse vdWHs with decent controllability, quality, and scalability. This review first summarizes the current state of the art in synthetic strategies of vdWHs, including physical combination, deposition, solvothermal synthesis, and synchronous evolution. Then three major applications and their representative vdWH devices have been reviewed, including electronics(tunneling field effect transistors and 2D contact),optoelectronics(photodetector), and energy conversion(electrocatalysts and metal ion batteries), to unveil the potentials of vdWHs in practical applications and provide the general design principles of functional vdWHs for different applications. Besides, moiré superlattices based on vdWHs are discussed to showcase the importance of vdWHs as a platform for novel condensed matter physics. Finally, the crucial challenges towards ideal vdWHs with high performance are discussed, and the outlook for future development is presented. By the systematical integration of synthetic strategies and applications, we hope this review can further light up the rational designs of vdWHs for emerging applications.

文摘In practical engineering,the total vertical stress in the soil layer is not constant due to stress diffusion,and varies with time and depth.Therefore,the purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of stress diffusion on the two-dimensional(2D)plane strain consolidation properties of unsaturated soils when the stress varies with time and depth.A series of semi-analytical solutions in terms of excess pore air and water pressures and settlement for 2D plane strain consolidation of unsaturated soils can be derived with the joint use of Laplace transform and Fourier sine series expansion.Then,the inverse Laplace transform of the semi-analytical solution is given in the time domain using a self-programmed code based on Crump’s method.The reliability of the obtained solutions is proved by the degeneration.Finally,the 2D plots of excess pore pressures and the curves of settlement varying with time,considering different physical parameters of unsaturated soil stratum and depth-dependent stress,are depicted and analyzed to study the 2D plane strain consolidation properties of unsaturated soils subjected to the depthdependent stress.

文摘The Ga N high electron mobility transistor(HEMT)has been considered as a potential terahertz(THz)radiation source,yet the low radiation power level restricts their applications.The HEMT array is thought to improve the coupling efficiency between two-dimensional(2D)plasmons and THz radiation.In this work,we investigate the plasma oscillation,electromagnetic radiation,and the integration characteristics of Ga N HEMT targeting at a high THz radiation power source.The quantitative radiation power and directivity are obtained for integrated Ga N HEMT array with different array periods and element numbers.With the same initial plasma oscillation phase among the HEMT units,the radiation power of the two-element HEMT array can achieve 4 times as the single HEMT radiation power when the array period is shorter than 1/8electromagnetic wavelength.In addition,the radiation power of the HEMT array varies almost linearly with the element number,the smaller array period can lead to the greater radiation power.It shows that increasing the array period could narrow the main radiated lobe width while weaken the radiation power.Increasing the element number can improve both the radiation directivity and power.We also synchronize the plasma wave phases in the HEMT array by adopting an external Gaussian plane wave with central frequency the same as the plasmon resonant frequency,which solves the problem of the radiation power reduction caused by the asynchronous plasma oscillation phases among the elements.The study of the radiation power amplification of the one-dimensional(1D)Ga N HEMT array provides useful guidance for the research of compact high-power solid-state terahertz sources.

文摘In this paper,we obtain Green’s functions of two-dimensional(2D)piezoelectric quasicrystal(PQC)in half-space and bimaterials.Based on the elastic theory of QCs,the Stroh formalism is used to derive the general solutions of displacements and stresses.Then,we obtain the analytical solutions of half-space and bimaterial Green’s functions.Besides,the interfacial Green’s function for bimaterials is also obtained in the analytical form.Before numerical studies,a comparative study is carried out to validate the present solutions.Typical numerical examples are performed to investigate the effects of multi-physics loadings such as the line force,the line dislocation,the line charge,and the phason line force.As a result,the coupling effect among the phonon field,the phason field,and the electric field is prominent,and the butterfly-shaped contours are characteristic in 2D PQCs.In addition,the changes of material parameters cause variations in physical quantities to a certain degree.

文摘With a large number of researches being conducted on two?dimen?sional(2D) materials, their unique properties in optics, electrics, mechanics, and magnetics have attracted increasing attention. Accordingly, the idea of combining distinct functional 2D materials into heterostructures naturally emerged that pro?vides unprecedented platforms for exploring new physics that are not accessible in a single 2D material or 3D heterostructures. Along with the rapid development of controllable, scalable, and programmed synthesis techniques of high?quality 2D heterostructures, various heterostructure devices with extraordinary performance have been designed and fabricated, including tunneling transistors, photodetectors, and spintronic devices.

文摘Two-dimensional(2D)nanomaterials are categorized as a new class of microwave absorption(MA)materials owing to their high specific surface area and peculiar electronic properties.In this study,2D WS2-reduced graphene oxide(WS2-rGO)heterostructure nanosheets were synthesized via a facile hydrothermal process;moreover,their dielectric and MA properties were reported for the first time.Remarkably,the maximum reflection loss(RL)of the sample-wax composites containing 40 wt% WS2-rGO was-41.5 dB at a thickness of 2.7 mm;furthermore,the bandwidth where RL<-10 dB can reach up to 13.62 GHz(4.38-18 GHz).Synergistic mechanisms derived from the interfacial dielectric coupling and multiple-interface scattering after hybridization of WS2 with rGO were discussed to explain the drastically enhanced microwave absorption performance.The results indicate these lightweight WS2-rGO nanosheets to be potential materials for practical electromagnetic wave-absorbing applications.

文摘Lithium sulfur(Li-S)batteries hold great promising for high-energy-density batteries,but appear rapid capacity fading due to the lack of overall and elaborated design of both sulfur host and interlayer.Herein,we developed a novel two-dimensional(2D)hierarchical yolk-shell heterostructure,constructed by a graphene yolk,2D void and outer shell of vertically aligned carbon-mediated MoS2 nanosheets(G@void@MoS2/C),as advanced host-interlayer integrated electrode for Li-S batteries.Notably,the 2D void,with a typical thickness of^80 nm,provided suitable space for loading and confining nano sulfur,and vertically aligned ultrathin MoS2 nanosheets guaranteed enriched catalytically active sites to effectively promote the transition of soluble polysulfides.The conductive graphene yolk and carbon mediated shell sufficiently accelerated electron transport.Therefore,the integrated electrode of G@void@MoS2/C not only exceptionally confined the sulfur/polysulfides in 2D yolk-shell heterostructures,but also achieved catalytic transition of the residual polysulfides dissolved in electrolyte to solid Li2S2/Li2S,both of which synergistically achieved an extremely low capacity fading rate of 0.05%per cycle over 1000 times at 2C,outperforming most reported Mo based cathodes and interlayers for Li-S batteries.2D hierarchical yolkshell heterostructures developed here may shed new insight on elaborated design of integrated electrodes for Li-S batteries.

文摘Two-dimensional(2D)InSe and WS2 exhibit promising characteristics for optoelectronic applications.However,they both have poor absorption of visible light due to wide bandgaps:2D InSe has high electron mobility but low hole mobility,while 2D WS2 is on the contrary.We propose a 2D heterostructure composed of their monolayers as a solution to both problems.Our first-principles calculations show that the heterostructure has a type-Ⅱband alignment as expected.Consequently,the bandgap of the heterostructure is reduced to 2.19 eV,which is much smaller than those of the monolayers.The reduction in bandgap leads to a considerable enhancement of the visible-light absorption,such as about fivefold(threefold)increase in comparison to monolayer InSe(WS2)at the wavelength of 490 nm.Meanwhile,the type-Ⅱ band alignment also facilitates the spatial separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs;i.e.,electrons(holes)reside preferably in the InSe(WS2)layer.As a result,the two layers complement each other in carrier mobilities of the heterostructure:the photogenerated electrons and holes inherit the large mobilities from the InSe and WS2 monolayers,respectively.

文摘Black phosphorus(BP),an interesting and multi-functional non-metal material,has attracted widespread attention.In this work,2D BP/2D g-C3N4 heterostructure had been fabricated at extremely low temperature,which was used to reduce CO2 for the first time.With introduction of 2D BP,the separation of photogenerated holes and electrons was extremely boosted,and composites showed excellent photocatalytic performance(CO2 to CO).Meanwhile,the targeted composite could keep high selectivity for CO generation and CO generation rate can be up to 187.7μmol g−1 h^−1.The formation process of the unique heterostructure and the key factor affecting the photocatalytic performance were also discussed.This work provides a new approach for designing metal free photocatalyst,which is used for CO2 reduction.

文摘Within the(2+1)-dimensional Korteweg–de Vries equation framework,new bilinear B¨acklund transformation and Lax pair are presented based on the binary Bell polynomials and gauge transformation.By introducing an arbitrary functionφ(y),a family of deformed soliton and deformed breather solutions are presented with the improved Hirota’s bilinear method.By choosing the appropriate parameters,their interesting dynamic behaviors are shown in three-dimensional plots.Furthermore,novel rational solutions are generated by taking the limit of the obtained solitons.Additionally,twodimensional(2D)rogue waves(localized in both space and time)on the soliton plane are presented,we refer to them as deformed 2D rogue waves.The obtained deformed 2D rogue waves can be viewed as a 2D analog of the Peregrine soliton on soliton plane,and its evolution process is analyzed in detail.The deformed 2D rogue wave solutions are constructed successfully,which are closely related to the arbitrary functionφ(y).This new idea is also applicable to other nonlinear systems.
