The performance of circularly polarized LEDs mainly depends on the emitter material, which is this study's focus. In particular, semiconducting-phase 2D monolayer MoS<sub>2</sub> and WS<sub>2</sub> are attractive emitter-material candidates owing to their bandgap versatility, high carrier mobility, high exciton binding energy, polarized-light-emission properties, and unique spin–valley coupling. Several works have examined the fundamental light-emission properties of monolayer MoS<sub>2</sub> and WS<sub>2</sub> from the perspectives of optoelectronic concepts, material fabrication, and device construction. This paper presents approaches to control, tune, and enhance these properties of monolayer MoS<sub>2</sub> and WS<sub>2</sub>. Possible guidelines for monolayer-material synthesis (top-down and bottom-up approaches) and device engineering of vertically stacked MoS<sub>2</sub> and WS<sub>2</sub> are presented.

Advanced heterogeneous bonding of high-thermal-conductivity WBG thin films and substrates not only constitutes a pivotal technique for fabricating these electronics but also offers potential solutions for thermal management. This study presents the integration of 3C-silicon carbide (SiC) thin films and diamond substrates through a surface-activated bonding technique. Notably, following annealing, the interfaces between 3C-SiC and diamond demonstrate an enhancement in thermal boundary conductance (TBC), reaching up to ≈300%, surpassing all other grown and bonded heterointerfaces. This enhancement is attributed to interfacial reactions, specifically the transformation of amorphous silicon into SiC upon interaction with diamond, which is further corroborated by picosecond ultrasonics measurements. After annealing at 1100 °C, the achieved TBC (150 MW m<sup>−2</sup> K<sup>−1</sup>) is among the highest among all bonded diamond interfaces. Additionally, the visualization of large-area TBC, facilitated by femtosecond laser-based time-domain thermoreflectance measurements, shows the uniformity of the interfaces which are capable of withstanding temperatures as high as 1100 °C.

In fractional side‐chain truncation, NDIDmap with the naphthalene diimide (NDI) group and the 3‐(dimethylamino)propyl (Dmap) chain is incorporated into P(NDI2OD‐T2), yielding various copolymers. Increasing the amount of NDIDmap in the polymer enhances π‐isotropy, which can improve charge transport. In complementary interactions, the NDIDmap group complexes with tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (BCF) via complementary N–B interactions. Adding BCF to a naphthalenediimide‐based conjugated polymer with NDIDmap enhances the coherence length (<jats:italic>L</jats:italic><jats:sub>c</jats:sub>) of π‐stacking.

PGz and PGz_rGO (obtained by combining PGz with reduced graphene oxide (rGO)) exhibited high-performance supercapacitor (SC) electrode properties, including remarkable specific capacitance (52.75 F g<sup>−1</sup> at 0.24 A g<sup>−1</sup> and 258.6 F g<sup>−1</sup> at 5.00 A g<sup>−1</sup>, respectively), excellent cycling stability (97.1% and 94.0% stability after 5000 cycles), high power density (95.5 and 2118.8 W kg<sup>−1</sup>), and, most importantly, high energy density (5.81 and 30.57 Wh kg<sup>−1</sup>). These superior features are attributed to the hierarchical porous nature and high electrical/ionic conductivities of the photochemically obtained PGz.

Here, a compact, gate-tunable neuron circuit is demonstrated, and its potential as a functional leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neuron is explored. It relies on a single nanoscale three-terminal (3T) memristor device, which has been downscaled by 30% compared to previous work, where the set voltage and, thereby, the spiking probability of the neuron circuit can be widely tuned by the low-voltage operation of the gate electrode.
