Article Abstract
The relatively weak Raman enhanced factors of semiconductor-based substrate limit its further application in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Here, a kind of two-dimensional (2D) semimetal material, molybdenum carbide (MoC) film, is prepared via a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, and the origin of SERS is investigated for the first time. The detection limits of the prepared MoC films for crystal violet (CV) and rhodamine 6G (R6G) molecules are low at 10 M and 10 M, respectively. Our detailed theoretical analysis, based on density functional theory and the finite element method, demonstrates that the enhancement of the 2D MoC film is indeed CM in nature rather than the EM effects. Besides, the basic doping strategies are proposed to further optimize the SERS sensitivity of MoC for Fermi level regulation. We believe this work will provide a helpful guide for developing a highly sensitive semimetal SERS substrate.

The synthesis and characterization of tris(N,N'-di-isopropyl-2-dimethylamido-guanidinate)molybdenum(III), Mo(iPr-GND) is reported. This complex expands the known scope of tris(guanidinate)M(III) complexes to include Mo, and adds to the very limited knowledge of homoleptic mononuclear Mo(III) coordination complexes. Volatility of Mo(iPr-GND) is demonstrated via thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), hinting at potential applications as a molecular precursor for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD).

Metal-organic complexes (MOCs) have extensively been studied as prominent components in interface engineering. Once the designated missions of MOC films are achieved, or while they are still operational, it is preferred that the films undergo degradation on demand in certain circumstances. Current research on MOC-film degradation predominantly relies on chemical treatment, which can alter the states and conditions of specific systems.

Refractory metals and their carbides possess extraordinary chemical and temperature resilience and exceptional mechanical strength. Yet, they are notoriously difficult to employ in additive manufacturing, due to the high temperatures needed for processing. State of the art approaches to manufacture these materials generally require either a high-energy laser or electron beam as well as ventilation to protect the metal powder from combustion.

Owing to their remarkable properties, single-walled carbon nanotube thin-film transistors (SWCNT-TFTs) are expected to be used in various flexible electronics applications. To fabricate SWCNT channel layers for TFTs, solution-based film formation on a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) covered with amino groups is commonly used. However, this method uses highly oxidized surfaces, which is not suitable for flexible polymeric substrates.

Metal oxide coated multilayered polymeric pouches provide a suitable alternative to foil-based packaging for shelf-stable products with extended shelf-life. The barrier performance of these films depends upon the integrity of the metal oxide coating which can develop defects as a result of thermal processing and improper handling. In this work, we developed a methodology to visually identify these defects using an oxygen-sensitive model gel system.
