Abstract
Spins confined to point defects in atomically thin semiconductors constitute well-defined atomic-scale quantum systems that are being explored as single-photon emitters and spin qubits. Here, we investigate the in-gap electronic structure of individual sulfur vacancies in molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) monolayers using resonant tunneling scanning probe spectroscopy in the Coulomb blockade regime. Spectroscopic mapping of defect wave functions reveals an interplay of local symmetry breaking by a charge-state-dependent Jahn-Teller lattice distortion that, when combined with strong (≃100 meV) spin-orbit coupling, leads to a locking of an unpaired spin-1/2 magnetic moment to the lattice at low temperature, susceptible to lattice strain. Our results provide new insights into the spin and electronic structure of vacancy-induced in-gap states toward their application as electrically and optically addressable quantum systems.

Abstract
Synthetic materials and heterostructures obtained by the controlled stacking of exfoliated monolayers are emerging as attractive functional materials owing to their highly tunable properties. We present a detailed scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy study of single layer MoS2-on-gold heterostructures as a function of the twist angle. We find that their electronic properties are determined by the hybridization of the constituent layers and are modulated at the moiré period. The hybridization depends on the layer alignment, and the modulation amplitude vanishes with increasing twist angle. We explain our observations in terms of a hybridization between the nearest sulfur and gold atoms, which becomes spatially more homogeneous and weaker as the moiré periodicity decreases with increasing twist angle, unveiling the possibility of tunable hybridization of electronic states via twist angle engineering.

Abstract
In this study, we report a one-step direct synthesis of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and tungsten disulfide (WS2) quantum dots (QDs) through a solvothermal reaction using only alcohol solvents and efficient Escherichia coli (E. coli) decompositions as photocatalytic antibacterial agents under visible light irradiation. The solvothermal reaction gives the scission of molybdenum-sulfur (Mo-S) and tungsten-sulfur (W-S) bonding during the synthesis of MoS2 and WS2 QDs. Using only alcohol solvent does not require a residue purification process necessary for metal intercalation. As the number of the CH3 groups of alcohol solvents among ethyl, isopropyl, and tert(t)-butyl alcohols increases, the dispersibility of MoS2/WS2 increases. The CH3 groups of alcohols minimize the surface energy, leading to the effective exfoliation and disintegration of the bulk under heat and pressure. The bulky t-butyl alcohol with the highest number of methyl groups shows the highest exfoliation and yield. MoS2 QDs with a lateral size of about 2.5 nm and WS2 QDs of about 10 nm are prepared, exhibiting a strong blue luminescence under 365 nm ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation. Their heights are 0.68-3 and 0.72-5 nm, corresponding to a few layers of MoS2 and WS2, respectively. They offer a highly efficient performance in sterilizing E. coli as the visible-light-driven photocatalyst.

Abstract
Ionic gating is a powerful technique to realize field-effect transistors (FETs) enabling experiments not possible otherwise. So far, ionic gating has relied on the use of top electrolyte gates, which pose experimental constraints and make device fabrication complex. Promising results obtained recently in FETs based on solid-state electrolytes remain plagued by spurious phenomena of unknown origin, preventing proper transistor operation, and causing limited control and reproducibility. Here, a class of solid-state electrolytes for gating (Lithium-ion conducting glass-ceramics, LICGCs) is explored, the processes responsible for the spurious phenomena and irreproducible behavior are identified, and properly functioning transistors exhibiting high density ambipolar operation with gate capacitance of ≈ 20 - 50 µ F c m - 2 \[20{\bm{ - }}50\;\mu F c{m^{{\bm{ - }}2}}\] (depending on the polarity of the accumulated charges) are demonstrated. Using 2D semiconducting transition-metal dichalcogenides, the ability to implement ionic-gate spectroscopy to determine the semiconducting bandgap, and to accumulate electron densities above 1014 cm-2 are demostrated, resulting in gate-induced superconductivity in MoS2 multilayers. As LICGCs are implemented in a back-gate configuration, they leave the surface of the material exposed, enabling the use of surface-sensitive techniques (such as scanning tunneling microscopy and photoemission spectroscopy) impossible so far in ionic-gated devices. They also allow double ionic gated devices providing independent control of charge density and electric field.

Abstract
During the last few decades, the microelectronics industry has actively been investigating the potential for the functional integration of semiconductor-based devices beyond digital logic and memory, which includes RF and analog circuits, biochips, and sensors, on the same chip. In the case of gas sensor integration, it is necessary that future devices can be manufactured using a fabrication technology which is also compatible with the processes applied to digital logic transistors. This will likely involve adopting the mature complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) fabrication technique or a technique which is compatible with CMOS due to the inherent low costs, scalability, and potential for mass production that this technology provides. While chemiresistive semiconductor metal oxide (SMO) gas sensors have been the principal semiconductor-based gas sensor technology investigated in the past, resulting in their eventual commercialization, they need high-temperature operation to provide sufficient energies for the surface chemical reactions essential for the molecular detection of gases in the ambient. Therefore, the integration of a microheater in a MEMS structure is a requirement, which can be quite complex. This is, therefore, undesirable and room temperature, or at least near-room temperature, solutions are readily being investigated and sought after. Room-temperature SMO operation has been achieved using UV illumination, but this further complicates CMOS integration. Recent studies suggest that two-dimensional (2D) materials may offer a solution to this problem since they have a high likelihood for integration with sophisticated CMOS fabrication while also providing a high sensitivity towards a plethora of gases of interest, even at room temperature. This review discusses many types of promising 2D materials which show high potential for integration as channel materials for digital logic field effect transistors (FETs) as well as chemiresistive and FET-based sensing films, due to the presence of a sufficiently wide band gap. This excludes graphene from this review, while recent achievements in gas sensing with graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), phosphorene, and MXenes are examined.

Abstract
MoS2 nanoscrolls that have inner core radii of ∼250 nm are generated from MoS2 monolayers, and the optical and transport band gaps of the nanoscrolls are investigated. Photoluminescence spectroscopy reveals that a MoS2 monolayer, originally a direct gap semiconductor (∼1.85 eV (optical)), changes into an indirect gap semiconductor (∼1.6 eV) upon scrolling. The size of the indirect gap for the MoS2 nanoscroll is larger than that of a MoS2 bilayer (∼1.54 eV), implying a weaker interlayer interaction between concentric layers of the MoS2 nanoscroll compared to Bernal-stacked MoS2 few-layers. Transport measurements on MoS2 nanoscrolls incorporated into ambipolar ionic-liquid-gated transistors yielded a band gap of ∼1.9 eV. The difference between the transport and optical gaps indicates an exciton binding energy of 0.3 eV for the MoS2 nanoscrolls. The rolling up of 2D atomic layers into nanoscrolls introduces a new type of quasi-1D nanostructure and provides another way to modify the band gap of 2D materials.

Abstract
We present the design, implementation, and illustrative results of a light collection/injection strategy based on an off-axis parabolic mirror collector for a low-temperature Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM). This device allows us to perform STM induced Light Emission (STM-LE) and Cathodoluminescence (STM-CL) experiments and in situ Photoluminescence (PL) and Raman spectroscopy as complementary techniques. Considering the Étendue conservation and using an off-axis parabolic mirror, it is possible to design a light collection and injection system that displays 72% of collection efficiency (considering the hemisphere above the sample surface) while maintaining high spectral resolution and minimizing signal loss. The performance of the STM is tested by atomically resolved images and scanning tunneling spectroscopy results on standard sample surfaces. The capabilities of our system are demonstrated by performing STM-LE on metallic surfaces and two-dimensional semiconducting samples, observing both plasmonic and excitonic emissions. In addition, we carried out in situ PL measurements on semiconducting monolayers and quantum dots and in situ Raman on graphite and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) samples. Additionally, STM-CL and PL were obtained on monolayer h-BN gathering luminescence spectra that are typically associated with intragap states related to carbon defects. The results show that the flexible and efficient light injection and collection device based on an off-axis parabolic mirror is a powerful tool to study several types of nanostructures with multiple spectroscopic techniques in correlation with their morphology at the atomic scale and electronic structure.

Abstract
Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), ferroelectric/antiferroelectric tunnel junctions (FTJs/AFTJs), and multiferroic tunnel junctions (MFTJs) have recently attracted significant interest for technological applications of nanoscale memory devices. Until now, most of them are based on perovskite oxide heterostructures with a relatively high resistance-area (RA) product and low resistance difference unfavorable for practical applications. The recent discovery of the two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) ferroelectric (FE) and magnetic materials has opened a new route to realize tunnel junctions with high performance and atomic-scale dimensions. Here, using first-principles calculations, we propose a new type of 2D tunnel junction: an antiferroelectric magnetic tunnel junction (AFMTJ), which inherits the features of both MTJ and AFTJ. This AFMTJ is composed of monolayer CuInP2S6 (CIPS) sandwiched between 2D magnetic electrodes of CrSe2. The AFTJ with nonmagnetic electrodes of TiSe2 on both sides of CIPS and the asymmetric AFTJ with both CrSe2 and TiSe2 electrodes are also investigated. Based on quantum-mechanical modeling of the electronic transport, sizeable tunneling electroresistance effects and multiple nonvolatile resistance states are demonstrated. More importantly, a remarkably low RA product (less than 0.1 Ω·μm2) makes the proposed vdW AFMTJs superior to the conventional MFTJs in terms of their promising nonvolatile memory applications. Our calculations provide new guidance for the experiment and application of nanoscale memory devices.

Abstract
Ionic-liquid gating (ILG) is able to enhance carrier densities well above the achievable values in traditional field-effect transistors (FETs), revealing it to be a promising technique for exploring the electronic phases of materials in extreme doping regimes. Due to their chemical stability, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are ideal candidates to produce ionic-liquid-gated FETs. Furthermore, as recently discovered, ILG can be used to obtain the band gap of two-dimensional semiconductors directly from the simple transfer characteristics. In this work, we present an overview of the operation principles of ionic liquid gating in TMD-based transistors, establishing the importance of the reference voltage to obtain hysteresis-free transfer characteristics, and hence, precisely determine the band gap. We produced ILG-based bilayer WSe2 FETs and demonstrated their ambipolar behavior. We estimated the band gap directly from the transfer characteristics, demonstrating the potential of ILG as a spectroscopy technique.

Abstract
A piezoelectric catalyst of the MoS2@TNr composite (MoS2 nanosheets composited with TiO2 nanorods) was synthesized by a two-step hydrothermal method, and can be recycled and reused as an advanced anode material for supercapacitors. In the dark, the MoS2@TNr composite exhibited ultra-fast piezoelectric catalytic performance and good cycle stability on dye degradation; within 10 min, nearly all rhodamine B (50 mL, 20 ppm) was removed from the solution with the assistance of magnetic stirring. After the 5 cycle degradation reaction, the catalyst was reclaimed and applied to electrochemical testing, which showed better supercapacitor capacitance properties than the fresh catalyst due to the introduction of oxygen vacancies generated from the piezoelectric degradation process. The reclaimed catalyst demonstrated an excellent specific capacitance of 249 F g−1 at 1 A g−1, and 92% capacitance retention after 10 000 cycles. Furthermore, as the current density increased to 30 A g−1, the capacitance could maintain 58% of the initial value. Thus, it can be concluded that the abandoned catalysts may serve as a potential electrode material for energy storage; simultaneously, the reutilization could eliminate secondary pollution and decrease the energy consumption in efficiency.

Abstract
2D semiconductors have shown great potential for application to electrically tunable optoelectronics. Despite the strong excitonic photoluminescence (PL) of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), their efficient electroluminescence (EL) has not been achieved due to the low efficiency of charge injection and electron-hole recombination. Here, multioperation-mode light-emitting field-effect transistors (LEFETs) consisting of a monolayer WSe2 channel and graphene contacts coupled with two top gates for selective and balanced injection of charge carriers are demonstrated. Visibly observable EL is achieved with the high external quantum efficiency of ≈6% at room temperature due to efficient recombination of injected electrons and holes in a confined 2D channel. Further, electrical tunability of both the channel and contacts enables multioperation modes, such as antiambipolar, depletion,and unipolar regions, which can be utilized for polarity-tunable field-effect transistors and photodetectors. The work exhibits great potential for use in 2D semiconductor LEFETs for novel optoelectronics capable of high efficiency, multifunctions, and heterointegration.

Abstract
Understanding the atomistic origin of defects in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides, their impact on the electronic properties, and how to control them is critical for future electronics and optoelectronics. Here, we demonstrate the integration of thermochemical scanning probe lithography (tc-SPL) with a flow-through reactive gas cell to achieve nanoscale control of defects in monolayer MoS2. The tc-SPL produced defects can present either p- or n-type doping on demand, depending on the used gasses, allowing the realization of field effect transistors, and p-n junctions with precise sub-μm spatial control, and a rectification ratio of over 104. Doping and defects formation are elucidated by means of X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy, and density functional theory. We find that p-type doping in HCl/H2O atmosphere is related to the rearrangement of sulfur atoms, and the formation of protruding covalent S-S bonds on the surface. Alternatively, local heating MoS2 in N2 produces n-character. Bipolar conductivity is fundamental for electronic devices based on two-dimensional semiconductors. Here, the authors report on-demand p- and n-doping of monolayer MoS2 via defects engineering using thermochemical scanning probe lithography, and achieve a p-n junction with rectification ratio over 104.

Abstract
The assembly of suitably designed van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures represents a new approach to produce artificial systems with engineered electronic properties. Here, we apply this strategy to realize synthetic semimetals based on vdW interfaces formed by two different semiconductors. Guided by existing ab initio calculations, we select WSe2 and SnSe2 mono- and multilayers to assemble vdW interfaces and demonstrate the occurrence of semimetallicity by means of different transport experiments. Semimetallicity manifests itself in a finite minimum conductance upon sweeping the gate over a large range in ionic liquid gated devices, which also offer spectroscopic capabilities enabling the quantitative determination of the band overlap. The semimetallic state is additionally revealed in Hall effect measurements by the coexistence of electrons and holes, observed by either looking at the evolution of the Hall slope with sweeping the gate voltage or with lowering temperature. Finally, semimetallicity results in the low-temperature metallic conductivity of interfaces of two materials that are themselves insulating. These results demonstrate the possibility to implement a state of matter that had not yet been realized in vdW interfaces and represent a first step toward using these interfaces to engineer topological or excitonic insulating states.

Abstract
MoS2 is promising for the next generation of electronic and optoelectronic devices by virtue of its unique optical, electrical and mechanical properties. Bandgap engineering of it is an interesting topic. However, the reported factors including temperature, defect, strain and external electric field are difficult to handle precisely. Here, we demonstrated direct-indirect bandgap transition in monolayer MoS2 induced by an individual Si nanoparticle. We observed photoluminescence (PL) emission with obvious spectral redshift and broadening in the MoS2/Si heterostructures after depositing Si nanoparticles onto the surface of monolayer MoS2. Raman spectra of heterostructures show measurable shifts in contrast with the bare MoS2. Energy transfer between MoS2 and Si nanoparticles did not happen, which is demonstrated by scattering spectra of MoS2/Si heterostructures. In addition, the natural oxide layer presented on the surface of Si nanoparticles can effectively prevent the carrier transferring from Si nanoparticles to MoS2. Thus, we attribute the direct-indirect bandgap transition of monolayer MoS2 to the strain induced by Si nanoparticles controlled by their sizes. The PL intensity of MoS2/Si heterostructure depends on the size of Si nanoparticles, resulting from the enhanced optical absorption of monolayer MoS2 based on Mie resonances of Si nanoparticles. The MoS2/Si heterostructure is promising for photodetector and circuit integration.

Abstract
Ionic liquid gated field-effect transistors (FETs) based on semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are used to study a rich variety of extremely interesting physical phenomena, but important aspects of how charge carriers are accumulated in these systems are not understood. We address these issues by means of a systematic experimental study of transport in monolayer MoSe2 and WSe2 as a function of magnetic field and gate voltage, exploring accumulated densities of carriers ranging from approximately 1014 cm-2 holes in the valence band to 4 × 1014 cm-2 electrons in the conduction band. We identify the conditions when the chemical potential enters different valleys in the monolayer band structure (the K and Q valley in the conduction band and the two spin-split K-valleys in the valence band) and find that an independent electron picture describes the occupation of states well. Unexpectedly, however, the experiments show very large changes in the device capacitance when multiple valleys are occupied that are not at all compatible with the commonly expected quantum capacitance contribution of these systems, CQ = e2/ (dμ/dn). A theoretical analysis of all terms responsible for the total capacitance shows that under general conditions a term is present besides the usual quantum capacitance, which becomes important for very small distances between the capacitor plates. This term, which we call cross quantum capacitance, originates from screening of the electric field generated by charges on one plate from charges sitting on the other plate. The effect is negligible in normal capacitors but large in ionic liquid FETs because of the atomic proximity between the ions in the gate and the accumulated charges on the TMD, and it accounts for all our experimental observations. Our findings therefore reveal an important contribution to the capacitance of physical systems that had been virtually entirely neglected until now.

Abstract
Recent technical progress demonstrates the possibility of stacking together virtually any combination of atomically thin crystals of van der Waals bonded compounds to form new types of heterostructures and interfaces. As a result, there is the need to understand at a quantitative level how the interfacial properties are determined by the properties of the constituent 2D materials. We address this problem by studying the transport and optoelectronic response of two different interfaces based on transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers, namely WSe2-MoSe2 and WSe2-MoS2. By exploiting the spectroscopic capabilities of ionic liquid gated transistors, we show how the conduction and valence bands of the individual monolayers determine the bands of the interface, and we establish quantitatively (directly from the measurements) the energetic alignment of the bands in the different materials as well as the magnitude of the interfacial band gap. Photoluminescence and photocurrent measurements allow us to conclude that the band gap of the WSe2-MoSe2 interface is direct in k space, whereas the gap of WSe2/MoS2 is indirect. For WSe2/MoSe2, we detect the light emitted from the decay of interlayer excitons and determine experimentally their binding energy using the values of the interfacial band gap extracted from transport measurements. The technique that we employed to reach this conclusion demonstrates a rather-general strategy for characterizing quantitatively the interfacial properties in terms of the properties of the constituent atomic layers. The results presented here further illustrate how van der Waals interfaces of two distinct 2D semiconducting materials are composite systems that truly behave as artificial semiconductors, the properties of which can be deterministically defined by the selection of the appropriate constituent semiconducting monolayers.
