One-dimensional (1D) materials have attracted significant research interest due to their unique quantum confinement effects and edge-related properties. Atomically thin 1D nanoribbon is particularly interesting because it is a valuable platform with physical limits of both thickness and width. Here, we develop a catalyst-free growth method and achieves the growth of Bi2O2Se nanostructures with tunable dimensionality. Significantly, Bi2O2Se nanoribbons with thickness down to 0.65 nm, corresponding to monolayer, are successfully grown for the first time. Electrical and optoelectronic measurements show that Bi2O2Se nanoribbons possess decent performance in terms of mobility, on/off ratio, and photoresponsivity, suggesting their promising for devices. This work not only reports a new method for the growth of atomically thin nanoribbons but also provides a platform to study properties and applications of such nanoribbon materials at thickness limit.

Methylammonium lead iodide perovskite has attracted intensive interest for its diverse optoelectronic applications. However, most studies to date have been limited to bulk thin films that are difficult to implement for integrated device arrays becaus
e of their incompatibility with typical lithography processes. We report the first patterned growth of regular arrays of perovskite microplate crystals for functional electronics and optoelectronics. We show that large arrays of lead iodide microplates can be grown from an aqueous solution through a seeded growth process and can be further intercalated with methylammonium iodide to produce perovskite crystals. Structural and optical characterizations demonstrate that the resulting materials display excellent crystalline quality and optical properties. We further show that perovskite crystals can be selectively grown on prepatterned electrode arrays to create independently addressable photodetector arrays and functional field effect transistors. The ability to grow perovskite microplates and to precisely place them at specific locations offers a new material platform for the fundamental investigation of the electronic and optical properties of perovskite materials and opens a pathway for integrated electronic and optoelectronic systems.
Contributing to the need of new graphene nanoribbon (GNR) structures that can be synthesized with atomic precision, we have designed a reactant that renders chiral (3,1) - GNRs after a multi-step reaction including Ullmann coupling and cyclodehydroge
nation. The nanoribbon synthesis has been successfully proved on different coinage metals, and the formation process, together with the fingerprints associated to each reaction step, has been studied combining scanning tunnelling microscopy, core-level spectroscopy and density functional calculations. In addition to the GNR chiral edge structure, the substantial GNR lengths achieved and the low processing temperature required to complete the reaction grant this reactant extremely interesting properties for potential applications.
Recently, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has been shown to act as an ideal substrate to graphene by greatly improving the material transport properties thanks to its atomically flat surface, low interlayer electronic coupling and almost perfect retic
ular matching. Chemical vapour deposition (CVD) is presently considered the most scalable approach to grow graphene directly on h-BN. However, for the catalyst-free approach, poor control over the shape and crystallinity of the graphene grains and low growth rates are typically reported. In this work we investigate the crystallinity of differently shaped grains and identify a path towards a real van der Waals epitaxy of graphene on h-BN by adopting a catalyst-free CVD process. We demonstrate the polycrystalline nature of circular-shaped pads and attribute the stemming of different oriented grains to airborne contamination of the h-BN flakes. We show that single-crystal grains with six-fold symmetry can be obtained by adopting high hydrogen partial pressures during growth. Notably, growth rates as high as 100 nm/min are obtained by optimizing growth temperature and pressure. The possibility of synthesizing single-crystal graphene on h-BN with appreciable growth rates by adopting a simple CVD approach is a step towards an increased accessibility of this promising van der Waals heterostructure.
Diodes made of heterostructures of the 2D material graphene and conventional 3D materials are reviewed in this manuscript. Several applications in high frequency electronics and optoelectronics are highlighted. In particular, advantages of metal-insu
lator-graphene (MIG) diodes over conventional metal-insulator-metal diodes are discussed with respect to relevant figures-of-merit. The MIG concept is extended to 1D diodes. Several experimentally implemented radio frequency circuit applications with MIG diodes as active elements are presented. Furthermore, graphene-silicon Schottky diodes as well as MIG diodes are reviewed in terms of their potential for photodetection. Here, graphene-based diodes have the potential to outperform conventional photodetectors in several key figures-of-merit, such as overall responsivity or dark current levels. Obviously, advantages in some areas may come at the cost of disadvantages in others, so that 2D/3D diodes need to be tailored in application-specific ways.
Aurivillius ferroelectric $Bi_2WO_6$ (BWO) encompasses a broad range of functionalities, including robust fatigue-free ferroelectricity, high photocatalytic activity, and ionic conductivity. Despite these promising characteristics, an in-depth study
on the growth of BWO thin films and ferroelectric characterization, especially at the atomic scale, is still lacking. Here, we report pulsed laser deposition (PLD) of BWO thin films on (001) $SrTiO_3$ substrates and characterization of ferroelectricity using the scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) techniques. We show that the background oxygen gas pressure used during PLD growth mainly determines the phase stability of BWO films, whereas the influence of growth temperature is comparatively minor. Atomically resolved STEM study of a fully strained BWO film revealed collective in-plane polar off-centering displacement of W atoms. We estimated the spontaneous polarization value based on polar displacement mapping to be about 54 $pm$ 4 ${mu}C cm^{-2}$, which is in good agreement with the bulk polarization value. Furthermore, we found that pristine film is composed of type-I and type-II domains, with mutually orthogonal polar axes. Complementary PFM measurements further elucidated that the coexisting type-I and type-II domains formed a multidomain state that consisted of 90$deg$ domain walls (DWs) alongside multiple head-to-head and tail-to-tail 180$deg$ DWs. Application of an electrical bias led to in-plane 180$deg$ polarization switching and 90$deg$ polarization rotation, highlighting a unique aspect of domain switching, which is immune to substrate-induced strain.
