Phosphorene, the 2D material derived from black phosphorus, has recently attracted a lot of interest for its properties, suitable for applications in material science. In particular, the physical features and the prominent chemical reactivity on its surface render this nanolayered substrate particularly promising for electrical and optoelectronic applications. In addition, being a new potential ligand for metals, it opens the way for a new role of the inorganic chemistry in the 2D world, with special reference to the field of catalysis. The aim of this review is to summarize the state of the art in this subject and to present our most recent results in preparation, functionalization and use of phosphorene and its decorated derivatives. In particular, we discuss several key points, which are currently under investigation: the synthesis, the characterization by theoretical calculations, the high pressure behaviour of black phosphorus, as well as decoration with nanoparticles and encapsulation in polymers. Finally, device fabrication and electrical transport measurements are overviewed on the basis of recent literature and new results collected in our laboratories.

Organometallic hexahapto chromium metal complexation of single layer graphene, which involves constructive rehybridization of the graphene pi-system with the vacant chromium d orbital, leads to field effect devices which retain a high degree of the m obility with enhanced on-off ratio. This hexahapto mode of bonding between metal and graphene is quite distinct from the modification in electronic structure induced by conventional covalent sigma-bond formation with creation of sp3 carbon centers in graphene lattice and this chemistry is reversible.
Electronic transport properties for single-molecule junctions have been widely measured by several techniques, including mechanically controllable break junctions, electromigration break junctions or by means of scanning tunneling microscopes. In par allel, many theoretical tools have been developed and refined for describing such transport properties and for obtaining numerical predictions. Most prominent among these theoretical tools are those based upon density functional theory. In this review, theory and experiment are critically compared and this confrontation leads to several important conclusions. The theoretically predicted trends nowadays reproduce the experimental findings quite well for series of molecules with a single well-defined control parameter, such as the length of the molecules. The quantitative agreement between theory and experiment usually is less convincing, however. Many reasons for quantitative discrepancies can be identified, from which one may decide that qualitative agreement is the best one may expect with present modeling tools. For further progress, benchmark systems are required that are sufficiently well-defined by experiment to allow quantitative testing of the approximation schemes underlying the theoretical modeling. Several key experiments can be identified suggesting that the present description may even be qualitatively incomplete in some cases. Such key experimental observations and their current models are also discussed here, leading to several suggestions for extensions of the models towards including dynamic image charges, electron correlations, and polaron formation.
Chemical functionalization is a promising route to band gap engineering of graphene. We chemically grafted nitrophenyl groups onto exfoliated single-layer graphene sheets in the form of substrate-supported or free-standing films. Our transport measur ements demonstrate that non-suspended functionalized graphene behaves as a granular metal, with variable range hopping transport and a mobility gap ~ 0.1 eV at low temperature. For suspended graphene that allows functionalization on both surfaces, we demonstrate tuning of its electronic properties from a granular metal to a gapped semiconductor, in which charge transport occurs via thermal activation over a gap ~ 80 meV. This non-invasive and scalable functionalization technique paves the way for CMOS-compatible band gap engineering of graphene electronic devices.
The ability of spintronic devices to utilize an electric current for manipulating the magnetization has resulted in large-scale developments, such as, magnetic random access memories and boosted the spintronic research area. In this regard, over the last decade, magnetization manipulation using spin-orbit torque has been devoted a lot of research attention as it shows a great promise for future ultrafast and power efficient magnetic memories. In this review, we summarize the latest advancements in spin-orbit torque research and highlight some of the technical challenges for practical spin-orbit torque devices. We will first introduce the basic concepts and highlight the latest material choices for spin-orbit torque devices. Then, we will summarize the important advancements in the study of magnetization switching dynamics using spin-orbit torque, which are important from scientific as well as technological aspect. The final major section focuses on the concept of external assist field free spin-orbit torque switching which is a requirement for practical spin-orbit torque devices.
There is a storied scientific history in the role of mechanical instruments for the measurement of fundamental physical interactions. Among these include the detection of magnetic torques via a displacement of a compliant mechanical sensor as a resul t of angular momentum transfer. Modern nanofabrication methods have enabled the coupling of mechanical structures to single, miniature magnetic specimens. This has allowed for strikingly sensitive detection of magnetic hysteresis and other quasi-static effects, as well as spin resonances, in materials confined to nanoscale geometries. The extraordinary sensitivities achieved in mechanical transduction through recent breakthroughs in cavity optomechanics, where a high-finesse optical cavity is used for readout of motion, are now being harnessed for torque magnetometry. In this article, we review the recent progress in mechanical detection of magnetic torques, highlight current applications, and speculate on possible future developments in the technology and science. Guidelines for designing and implementing the measurements are also included.
