Here, we present an innovative approach to achieve the automated and simultaneous transfer of arrays of graphene ribbons, with precise control over their orientation and alignment onto patterned wafers. The transfer is performed in a simple, yet efficient apparatus consisting of an array of glass columns, strategically shaped to control ribbon orientation and arranged to match the destination wafer, coupled to a dual inflow/outflow pumping system. This apparatus enables the transfer of a custom array of parallel graphene ribbons in a fraction of the time required with traditional methods. The quality of the transferred graphene was evaluated using optical imaging, scanning electron microscopy, hyperspectral Raman imaging, and electrical transport: all consistently indicating that the transferred graphene exhibits excellent quality, comparable to a manual transfer by an expert user. The proposed apparatus offers several competitive advantages, including ease of use, high transfer throughput, and reduced nanomaterial consumption. Moreover, it can be used repeatedly on the same wafer to assemble arrays of overlayed materials with controlled relative orientations. This approach thus opens promising opportunities for the large-scale fabrication of various heterostructures and devices based on vertical assemblies of 2D nanomaterials.","PeriodicalId":19227,"journal":{"name":"npj 2D Materials and Applications","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":9.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41699-024-00491-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141940616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we present a magnetic field dependent transport study proving that this gap is indeed of superconducting origin. Upon cooling, several drops in resistance are observed in the temperature range between 6 K and 2 K, indicating multiple transitions. Using the Ginzburg-Landau theory, we show that the critical magnetic field of the dominant high-temperature transition at ~ 6 K is governed by orbital Cooper pair breaking in larger FeTe islands, large enough to exceed the superconductive coherence length $$xi$$ . At smaller island sizes, transitions at lower temperatures < 6 K become more prominent, showing significantly increased critical fields dominated by paramagnetic pair breaking. The multiphase superconducting behaviour is in line with an observed wide distribution of FeTe islands width 5–100 nm and seems to reflect disorder effects at the interface to Bi2Te3. The proof of local superconductivity makes the FeTe interface to the topological insulator Bi2Te3 substrate a potential host of topological superconductivity.","PeriodicalId":19227,"journal":{"name":"npj 2D Materials and Applications","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":9.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41699-024-00480-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141928589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, we have thoroughly elucidated the magnetic exchange mechanisms, and have fully exemplified the magnetic field dependence of the magnon spectrum. More importantly, our study reveals a previously unrecognized, remarkably large spin-spiral-induced ferroelectric polarization (up to 194.9 μC/m2) in both compounds. We propose an approach to identify polar skyrmions within magnetic skyrmions, based on the observed direct correlation between spin texture and polarization density.

Of particular interest are light-induced energy transfer mechanisms in these materials and their structural roots. Here, we use state-of-the-art first-principles calculations to study the excitonic composition and the absorption properties of WS2–graphene heterostructures as a function of interlayer alignment and the local strain resulting from it. We find that Brillouin zone mismatch and the associated energy level alignment between the graphene Dirac cone and the TMD bands dictate an interplay between interlayer and intralayer excitons, mixing together in the many-body representation upon the strain-induced symmetry breaking in the interacting layers. Examining the representative cases of the 0° and 30° interlayer twist angles, we find that this exciton mixing strongly varies as a function of the relative alignment. We quantify the effect of these structural modifications on exciton charge separation between the layers and the associated graphene-induced homogeneous broadening of the absorption resonances. Our findings provide guidelines for controllable optical excitations upon interface design and shed light on the importance of many-body effects in the understanding of optical phenomena in complex heterostructures.","PeriodicalId":19227,"journal":{"name":"npj 2D Materials and Applications","volume":" ","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":9.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41699-024-00484-7.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141883505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study reports on the photoluminescence quantum yield of heterostructures consisting of WSe2/WSe2/MoSe2 twisted layers. Our findings show that the additional WSe2 monolayer in the trilayer system enhances the low-energy photoluminescence by more than an order of magnitude depending on the WSe2/WSe2 twist-angle in comparison to their WSe2/MoSe2 heterobilayer counterpart. Furthermore, combining density functional theory calculations and extracted degree of circular polarization, we identify excitonic signatures arising from hybridized states that originate from the additional WSe2 layer.

Here, we lay the groundwork for significantly enhancing local electrostatic fields by chemical modification of the surface. We consider the hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanomesh on Rh(111), which already exhibits small surface potential gradients between its pore and wire regions. Using photoemission spectroscopy, we show that adding Au atoms to the Rh(111) surface layer leads to a local migration of Au atoms below the wire regions of the nanomesh. This significantly increases the local work function difference between the pore and wire regions that can be quantified experimentally by the changes in the h-BN valence band structure. Using density functional theory, we identify an electron transfer from Rh to Au as the microscopic origin for the local enhancement of potential gradients within the h-BN nanomesh.","PeriodicalId":19227,"journal":{"name":"npj 2D Materials and Applications","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":9.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41699-024-00487-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141775086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the industrialization of these applications is hindered by significant device-to-device variations presumably caused by non-uniform stress distributions induced by the fabrication process. Here, we introduce a methodology to determine the stress distribution from their mechanical resonance frequencies and corresponding mode shapes as measured by a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV). To avoid limitations posed by the optical resolution of the LDV, we leverage a manufacturing process to create ultra-large graphene drums with diameters of up to 1000 μm. We solve the inverse problem of a Föppl–von Kármán plate model by an iterative procedure to obtain the stress distribution within the drums from the experimental data. Our results show that the generally used uniform pre-tension assumption overestimates the pre-stress value, exceeding the averaged stress obtained by more than 47%. Moreover, it is found that the reconstructed stress distributions are bi-axial, which likely originates from the transfer process. The introduced methodology allows one to estimate the tension distribution in drum resonators from their mechanical response and thereby paves the way for linking the used fabrication processes to the resulting device performance.","PeriodicalId":19227,"journal":{"name":"npj 2D Materials and Applications","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":9.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41699-024-00485-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141624597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
