The collective excitation spectrum of two-dimensional (2D) antimonene is calculated beyond the low energy continuum approximation. The dynamical polarizability is computed using a 6-orbitals tight-binding model that properly accounts for the band structure of antimonene in a broad energy range. Electron-electron interaction is considered within the random phase approximation. The obtained spectrum is rich, containing the standard intra-band 2D plasmon and a set of single inter-band modes. We find that spin-orbit interaction plays a fundamental role in the reconstruction of the excitation spectrum, with the emergence of novel inter-band branches in the continuum that interact with the plasmon.

We detect electroluminescence in single layer molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) field-effect transistors built on transparent glass substrates. By comparing absorption, photoluminescence, and electroluminescence of the same MoS2 layer, we find that they a ll involve the same excited state at 1.8eV. The electroluminescence has pronounced threshold behavior and is localized at the contacts. The results show that single layer MoS2, a direct band gap semiconductor, is promising for novel optoelectronic devices, such as 2-dimensional light detectors and emitters.
Here, we demonstrate the fabrication of single-layer MoS2 mechanical resonators. The fabricated resonators have fundamental resonance frequencies in the order of 10 MHz to 30 MHz (depending on their geometry) and their quality factor is about ~55 at room temperature in vacuum. The dynamical properties clearly indicate that monolayer MoS2 membranes are in the membrane limit (i.e., tension dominated), in contrast to their thicker counterparts, which behave as plates. We also demonstrate clear signatures of nonlinear behaviour of our atomically thin membranes, thus providing a starting point for future investigations on the nonlinear dynamics of monolayer nanomechanical resonators.
Silica or SiO$_2$, the main constituent of earths rocks has several 3D complex crystalline and amorphous phases, but it does not have a graphite like layered structure in 3D. Our theoretical analysis and numerical calculations from the first-principl es predict a single-layer honeycomb like allotrope, h$alpha$-silica, which can be viewed to be derived from the oxidation of silicene and it has intriguing atomic structure with re-entrant bond angles in hexagons. It is a wide band gap semiconductor, which attains remarkable electromechanical properties showing geometrical changes under external electric field. In particular, it is an auxetic metamaterial with negative Poissons ratio and has a high piezoelectric coefficient. While it can form stable bilayer and multilayer structures, its nanoribbons can show metallic or semiconducting behavior depending on their chirality. Coverage of dangling Si orbitals by foreign adatoms can attribute new functionalities to h$alpha$-silica. In particular, Si$_2$O$_5$, where Si atoms are saturated by oxygen atoms from top and bottom sides alternatingly can undergo a structural transformation to make silicatene, another stable, single layer structure of silica.
The growth of single-layer MoS2 with chemical vapor deposition is an established method that can produce large-area and high quality samples. In this article, we investigate the geometrical and optical properties of hundreds of individual single-laye r MoS2 crystallites grown on a highly-polished sapphire substrate. Most of the crystallites are oriented along the terraces of the sapphire substrate and have an area comprised between 10 {mu}m2 and 60 {mu}m2. Differential reflectance measurements performed on these crystallites show that the area of the MoS2 crystallites has an influence on the position and broadening of the B exciton while the orientation does not influence the A and B excitons of MoS2. These measurements demonstrate that differential reflectance measurements have the potential to be used to characterize the homogeneity of large area CVD grown samples.

Non-volatile resistive switching, also known as memristor effect in two terminal devices, has emerged as one of the most important components in the ongoing development of high-density information storage, brain-inspired computing, and reconfigurable systems. Recently, the unexpected discovery of memristor effect in atomic monolayers of transitional metal dichalcogenide sandwich structures has added a new dimension of interest owing to the prospects of size scaling and the associated benefits. However, the origin of the switching mechanism in atomic sheets remains uncertain. Here, using monolayer MoS$_2$ as a model system, atomistic imaging and spectroscopy reveal that metal substitution into sulfur vacancy results in a non-volatile change in resistance. The experimental observations are corroborated by computational studies of defect structures and electronic states. These remarkable findings provide an atomistic understanding on the non-volatile switching mechanism and open a new direction in precision defect engineering, down to a single defect, for achieving optimum performance metrics including memory density, switching energy, speed, and reliability using atomic nanomaterials.
