Article Abstract
We used a computational method based on (constrained) density functional theory to obtain the photoluminescence spectrum of graphene quantum dots with up to 240 carbon atoms, including the effect of multiphonons. We found that only a few phonon modes couple effectively to the excitons, namely one size- and shape-dependent global mode and two high frequency local modes. The exciton-phonon coupling decreases with increasing size for all structures and has a magnitude in the mid-range, leading to only relatively small multiphonon effects. We suggest that the photoluminescence sidebands can be used as fingerprints for the determination of the size and shape of graphene quantum dots. Our results are in very good agreement with the results from a recent experiment and reveal that a two-phonon replica (with = 2) is clearly visible in the spectrum.

The design of carbon allotropes that simultaneously exhibit mechanical robustness and quantum functionalities remains a longstanding challenge. Here, we report a comprehensive first-principles study of cT16, a three-dimensional sp-hybridized carbon network with topologically interlinked graphene-like sheets. The structure features high ideal tensile and shear strengths, with pronounced anisotropy arising from strain-induced bond rehybridization and interlayer slipping mechanisms.

Electric gating in atomically thin field-effect devices based on transition-metal dichalcogenides has recently been employed to manipulate their excitonic states, even producing exotic phases of matter, such as an excitonic insulator or Bose-Einstein condensate. Here, we mimic the electric gating effect of a bilayer-MoS on graphite by charge transfer induced by the adsorption of molecular p- and n-type dopants. The electric fields produced are evaluated from the electronic energy-level realignment and Stark splitting determined by X-ray and UV photoelectron spectroscopy measurements and compare very well with literature values obtained by optical spectroscopy for similar systems.

To assess the efficacy of a mixed-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure in modulating the optoelectronic responses of nanodevices, the charge transport properties of the transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD)-based heterostructure comprising zero-dimensional (0D) WS quantum dots (QDs) and two-dimensional (2D) MoS flakes are critically analyzed. Herein, a facile strategy was materialized in developing an atomically thin phototransistor assembled from mechanically exfoliated MoS and WS QDs synthesized using a one-pot hydrothermal route. The amalgamated photodetectors exhibited a high responsivity of ∼8000 A/W at an incident power of 0.

2D van der Waals ferromagnets hold immense promise for spintronic applications due to their controllability and versatility. Despite their significance, the realization and in-depth characterization of ferromagnetic materials in atomically thin single layers, close to the true 2D limit, has been scarce. Here, a successful synthesis of monolayer (ML) 1T-CrTe is reported on a bilayer graphene (BLG) substrate via molecular beam epitaxy.

Visible-light activation is highly desirable for gas sensors due to its energy-efficient operation and broad accessibility. Photocatalysis offers a promising strategy for visible-light activation; however, a limited understanding of the band engineering-mediated activation process restricts the rational design of photocatalysts for gas sensors. In this work, we systematically investigate the impact of band tuning in photocatalysts on the nitrogen dioxide (NO) sensing performance of InO-based sensors, employing graphene quantum dots (GQDs) as photosensitizers.
