Monolayers

Electromagnetic interference (EMI), which can harm smartphones, tablets, chips, drones, wearables, and evenaircraft and human health, is increasing with the explosive proliferation of devices that generate it. Themarket for EM-blocking solutions, which employ conductive or magnetic materials, is exp more

The ability of metallic or semiconducting materials to absorb, reflect and act upon light is of primary importance to scientists developing optoelectronics - electronic devices that interact with light to perform tasks. Rice University scientists have now produced a method to determine the propertie more

The general public might think of the 21st century as an era of revolutionary technological platforms, such as smartphones or social media. But for many scientists, this century is the era of another type of platform: two-dimensional materials, and their unexpected secrets. These 2-D materials can b more

We theoretically explore the structural and mechanical properties of metal-free fused-ring polyphthalocyanine (H2PPc) and halogenated H2PPc (F-H2PPc and Cl-H2PPc) membranes, and the energy profiles for gaseous H2, CO, CH4, CO2 and N2 molecules adsorbing on and passing through these monolayers. Impor more

The physical and chemical properties of monolayers can be tuned by the selective combinations so as to be useful to device applications. Here we present a density functional theory study on the structural, electronic and optical properties of three transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) heterobilayer more
