Atomically thin rhenium disulphide (ReS2) is a member of the transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) family of materials characterized by weak interlayer coupling and a distorted 1T structure. Here, we report on the electrical transport study of mono- and multilayer ReS2 with polymer electrolyte gating. We find that the conductivity of monolayer ReS2 is completely suppressed at high carrier densities, an unusual feature unique to monolayers, making ReS2 the first example of such a material. While thicker flakes of ReS2 also exhibit a conductivity dome and an insulator-metal-insulator sequence, they do not show a complete conductivity suppression at high doping densities. Using dual-gated devices, we can distinguish the gate-induced doping from the electrostatic disorder induced by the polymer electrolyte itself. Theoretical calculations and a transport model indicate that the observed conductivity suppression can be explained by a combination of a narrow conduction band and Anderson localization due to electrolyte-induced disorder.

We evaluate the degree of disorder in electrolyte gating devices through the transport measurements in graphene. By comparing the mobility in ion- and standard metal-gated devices, we show that the deposition of the ionic liquid introduces charged im
purities with a density of approximately $6times 10^{12}$ cm$^{-2}$; setting the upper limit of the mobility in graphene to 3000 cm$^2$/Vs. At higher temperature, phonons in the ionic liquid further reduce the mobility, making its upper limit 2000 cm$^2$/Vs at room temperature. Since the degree of disorder is independent of the base material, these results are valuable towards understanding disorder effects in general devices using electrolyte gating.
In the effort to make 2D materials-based devices smaller, faster, and more efficient, it is important to control charge carrier at lengths approaching the nanometer scale. Traditional gating techniques based on capacitive coupling through a gate diel
ectric cannot generate strong and uniform electric fields at this scale due to divergence of the fields in dielectrics. This field divergence limits the gating strength, boundary sharpness, and pitch size of periodic structures, and restricts possible geometries of local gates (due to wire packaging), precluding certain device concepts, such as plasmonics and transformation optics based on metamaterials. Here we present a new gating concept based on a dielectric-free self-aligned electrolyte technique that allows spatially modulating charges with nanometer resolution. We employ a combination of a solid-polymer electrolyte gate and an ion-impenetrable e-beam-defined resist mask to locally create excess charges on top of the gated surface. Electrostatic simulations indicate high carrier density variations of $Delta n =10^{14}text{cm}^{-2}$ across a length of 10 nm at the mask boundaries on the surface of a 2D conductor, resulting in a sharp depletion region and a strong in-plane electric field of $6times10^8 text{Vm}^{-1}$ across the so-created junction. We apply this technique to the 2D material graphene to demonstrate the creation of tunable p-n junctions for optoelectronic applications. We also demonstrate the spatial versatility and self-aligned properties of this technique by introducing a novel graphene thermopile photodetector.
Graphene has been proposed as a promising material for future nanoelectronics because of its unique electronic properties. Understanding the scaling behavior of this new nanomaterial under common experimental conditions is of critical importance for
developing graphene-based nanoscale devices. We present a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study on the influence of edge disorder and bulk disorder on the minimum conductivity of graphene ribbons. For the first time, we discovered a strong non-monotonic size scaling behavior featuring a peak and saturation minimum conductivity. Through extensive numerical simulations and analysis, we are able to attribute these features to the amount of edge and bulk disorder in graphene devices. This study elucidates the quantum transport mechanisms in realistic experimental graphene systems, which can be used as a guideline for designing graphene-based nanoscale devices with improved performance.
We report electrical characterization of monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) devices using a thin layer of polymer electrolyte consisting of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) as both a contact-barrier reducer and channel m
obility booster. We find that bare MoS2 devices (without polymer electrolyte) fabricated on Si/SiO2 have low channel mobility and large contact resistance, both of which severely limit the field-effect mobility of the devices. A thin layer of PEO/ LiClO4 deposited on top of the devices not only substantially reduces the contact resistance but also boost the channel mobility, leading up to three-orders-of-magnitude enhancement of the field-effect mobility of the device. When the polymer electrolyte is used as a gate medium, the MoS2 field-effect transistors exhibit excellent device characteristics such as a near ideal subthreshold swing and an on/off ratio of 106 as a result of the strong gate-channel coupling.
Unidirectional in-plane structural anisotropy in Rhenium-based transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) introduces a new class of 2-D materials, exhibiting anisotropic optical properties. In this work, we perform temperature dependent, polarization-re
solved photoluminescence and reflectance measurements on several-layer ReS$_{2}$. We discover two additional excitonic resonances (X$_{3}$ and X$_{4}$), which can be attributed to splitting of spin degenerate states. Strong in-plane oscillator strength of exciton species X$_{1}$ and X$_{2}$ are accompanied by weaker counterparts X$_{3}$ and X$_{4}$ with similar polarization orientations. The in-plane anisotropic dielectric function has been obtained for ReS$_{2}$ which is essential for engineering light matter coupling for polarization sensitive optoelectronic devices. Furthermore, our temperature dependent study revealed the existence of low-lying momentum-forbidden dark states causing an anomalous PL intensity variation at 30 K, which has been elucidated using a rate equation model involving phonon scattering from these states. Our findings of the additional excitonic features and the momentum-dark states can shed light on the true nature of the electronic band structure of ReS$_{2}$.
