Van der Waals heterojunctions, formed by stacking two-dimensional materials with various structural and electronic properties, opens a new way to design new functional devices for future applications and provides an ideal research platform for exploring novel physical phenomena. In this work, bilayer graphene/WS/metal heterojunctions (GWMHs) with vertical architecture were designed and fabricated. The tunneling current-bias voltage ( - ) properties of GWMHs can be tuned by 5 × 10 times in magnitude for current increasing from 0.2 nA to 1 mA with applied bias voltage increasing from 10 mV to 2 V. Moreover, the transfer properties of GWMHs exhibit n-type conduction at = 0.1 V and bipolar conduction at = 2 V; these findings are explained well by direct tunneling () and Fowler-Nordheim tunneling (), respectively. The results show the great potential of GWMHs for high-power field-effect transistors (FETs) and next-generation logic electronic devices.

In this study, we analyze InO thin-film transistors (InO-TFT) using synchrotron-based hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) in conditions. A bottom-gate InO-TFT with a high- AlO gate dielectric, grown on thermally oxidized silicon (SiO/p-Si), was examined while operating at varying and . The results reveal that the In 3d core level binding energy varies along the horizontal channel length, driven by the potential gradient induced by .

Precise control of spin states and spin-spin interactions in atomic-scale magnetic structures is crucial for spin-based quantum technologies. A promising architecture is molecular spin systems, which offer chemical tunability and scalability for larger structures. An essential component, in addition to the qubits themselves, is switchable qubit-qubit interactions that can be individually addressed.

Clinically, even in patients diagnosed with non-obstructive azoospermia, spermatogenesis may be present in some seminiferous tubules, which gives the patient hope of having biological offspring of his own. However, there is still a blank for high-precision detection technologies to support accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. In this work, we successfully developed a minimally invasive fine needle detection memristive device that features a structure composed of Ag/CH-MnO/FTO by utilizes the organic-inorganic heterojunction as functional layer.

Radical coupling reactions have been widely used in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, materials science, and drug research. However, restricted conditions or special catalysts are required to overcome the energy barrier and trigger the coupling reaction efficiently. In this study, we provide experimental evidence that the C─N radical coupling reactions can be significantly accelerated by an oriented external electric field (OEEF) under synchronous UV irradiation without a catalyst.

The semiconductor-electrolyte interface with strong electrical tunability offers a platform for tuning nonlinear optical (NLO) processes and achieving giant optical nonlinearities. However, such a demonstration and fundamental mechanistic understanding of electrochemically tuned NLO properties have not been reported. Here, we developed an electrochemical Z-scan system to characterize the evolution of NLO responses in tellurium nanorod films under bias voltage.
