We report experiment and theory on an ambipolar gate-controlled Si-vacuum field effect transistor (FET) where we study electron and hole (low-temperature 2D) transport in the same device simply by changing the external gate voltage to tune the system from being a 2D electron system at positive gate voltage to a 2D hole system at negative gate voltage. The electron (hole) conductivity manifests strong (moderate) metallic temperature dependence with the conductivity decreasing by a factor of 8 (2) between 0.3 K and 4.2 K with the peak electron mobility ($sim 18$ m$^2$/Vs) being roughly 20 times larger than the peak hole mobility (in the same sample). Our theory explains the data well using RPA screening of background Coulomb disorder, establishing that the observed metallicity is a direct consequence of the strong temperature dependence of the effective screened disorder.

We study the effects of low-energy electron beam irradiation up to 10 keV on graphene based field effect transistors. We fabricate metallic bilayer electrodes to contact mono- and bi-layer graphene flakes on SiO$_2$, obtaining specific contact resist ivity $rho_c simeq 19 kOmega mu m^2$ and carrier mobility as high as 4000 cm$^2$V$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$. By using a highly doped p-Si/SiO$_2$ substrate as back gate, we analyze the transport properties of the device and the dependence on the pressure and on the electron bombardment. We demonstrate that low energy irradiation is detrimental on the transistor current capability, resulting in an increase of the contact resistance and a reduction of the carrier mobility even at electron doses as low as 30 $e^-/nm^2$. We also show that the irradiated devices recover by returning to their pristine state after few repeated electrical measurements.
Quantum wells constitute one of the most important classes of devices in the study of 2D systems. In a double layer QW, the additional which-layer degree of freedom gives rise to celebrated phenomena such as Coulomb drag, Hall drag and exciton conden sation. Here we demonstrate facile formation of wide QWs in few-layer black phosphorus devices that host double layers of charge carriers. In contrast to tradition QWs, each 2D layer is ambipolar, and can be tuned into n-doped, p-doped or intrinsic regimes. Fully spin-polarized quantum Hall states are observed on each layer, with enhanced Lande g-factor that is attributed to exchange interactions. Our work opens the door for using 2D semiconductors as ambipolar single, double or wide QWs with unusual properties such as high anisotropy.
The two-dimensional (2D) metal PtCoO$_2$ is renowned for the lowest room temperature resistivity among all oxides, close to that of the top two materials Ag and Cu. In addition, we theoretically predict a strong intrinsic spin Hall effect. This origi nates from six strongly-tilted Dirac cones that we find in the electronic structure near the Fermi surface, where a gap is opened by large spin-orbit coupling (SOC). This is underpinned by rich topological properties; in particular, the phenomenology of a mirror Chern metal is realized not exactly, but very accurately, on account of an approximate crystalline symmetry. We expect that such vicinity topology to be a feature of relevance well beyond this material. Our Wilson loop analysis indicates further elaborate features such as fragile topology. These findings highlight PtCoO$_2$ as a promising material for spintronic applications as well as a platform to study the interplay of symmetry and topology.

We present an analytical device model for a graphene bilayer field-effect transistor (GBL-FET) with a graphene bilayer as a channel, and with back and top gates. The model accounts for the dependences of the electron and hole Fermi energies as well a s energy gap in different sections of the channel on the bias back-gate and top-gate voltages. Using this model, we calculate the dc and ac source-drain currents and the transconductance of GBL-FETs with both ballistic and collision dominated electron transport as functions of structural parameters, the bias back-gate and top-gate voltages, and the signal frequency. It is shown that there are two threshold voltages, $V_{th,1}$ and $V_{th,2}$, so that the dc current versus the top-gate voltage relation markedly changes depending on whether the section of the channel beneath the top gate (gated section) is filled with electrons, depleted, or filled with holes. The electron scattering leads to a decrease in the dc and ac currents and transconductances, whereas it weakly affects the threshold frequency. As demonstrated, the transient recharging of the gated section by holes can pronouncedly influence the ac transconductance resulting in its nonmonotonic frequency dependence with a maximum at fairly high frequencies.
Integrating negative capacitance (NC) into the field-effect transistors promises to break fundamental limits of power dissipation known as Boltzmann tyranny. However, realization of the stable static negative capacitance in the non-transient regime w ithout hysteresis remains a daunting task. Here we show that the failure to implement the NC stems from the lack of understanding that its origin is fundamentally related with the inevitable emergence of the domain state. We put forth an ingenious design for the ferroelectric domain-based field-effect transistor with the stable reversible static negative capacitance. Using dielectric coating of the ferroelectric capacitor enables the tunability of the negative capacitance improving tremendously the performance of the field-effect transistors.
