Spin orbit interaction can be strongly boosted when a heavy element is embedded into an inversion asymmetric crystal field. A simple structure to realize this concept in a 2D crystal contains three atomic layers, a middle one built up from heavy elements generating strong atomic spin-orbit interaction and two neighboring atomic layers with different electron negativity. BiTeI is a promising candidate for such a 2D crystal, since it contains heavy Bi layer between Te and I layers. Recently the bulk form of BiTeI attracted considerable attention due to its giant Rashba interaction, however, 2D form of this crystal was not yet created. In this work we report the first exfoliation of single layer BiTeI using a recently developed exfoliation technique on stripped gold. Our combined scanning probe studies and first principles calculations show that SL BiTeI flakes with sizes of 100 $mu$m were achieved which are stable at ambient conditions. The giant Rashba splitting and spin-momentum locking of this new member of 2D crystals open the way towards novel spintronic applications and synthetic topological heterostructures.

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 str
ucture 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.
We report on the fabrication of field-effect transistors based on single and bilayers of the semiconductor WS2 and the investigation of their electronic transport properties. We find that the doping level strongly depends on the device environment an
d that long in-situ annealing drastically improves the contact transparency allowing four-terminal measurements to be performed and the pristine properties of the material to be recovered. Our devices show n-type behavior with high room-temperature on/off current ratio of ~106. They show clear metallic behavior at high charge carrier densities and mobilities as high as ~140 cm2/Vs at low temperatures (above 300 cm2/Vs in the case of bi-layers). In the insulating regime, the devices exhibit variable-range hopping, with a localization length of about 2 nm that starts to increase as the Fermi level enters the conduction band. The promising electronic properties of WS2, comparable to those of single-layer MoS2 and WSe2, together with its strong spin-orbit coupling, make it interesting for future applications in electronic, optical and valleytronic devices.
Innovative applications based on two-dimensional solids require cost-effective fabrication processes resulting in large areas of high quality materials. Chemical vapour deposition is among the most promising methods to fulfill these requirements. How
ever, for 2D materials prepared in this way it is generally assumed that they are of inferior quality in comparison to the exfoliated 2D materials commonly used in basic research. In this work we challenge this assumption and aim to quantify the differences in quality for the prototypical transition metal dichalcogenide MoS$_2$. To this end single layers of MoS$_2$ prepared by different techniques (exfoliation, grown by different chemical vapor deposition methods, transfer techniques, and as vertical heterostructure with graphene) are studied by Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy, complemented by atomic force microscopy. We demonstrate that as-prepared MoS$_2$, directly grown on SiO$_2$, differs from exfoliated MoS$_2$ in terms of higher photoluminescence, lower electron concentration, and increased strain. As soon as a water film is intercalated (e.g., by transfer) underneath the grown MoS$_2$, in particular the (opto-)electronic properties become practically identical to those of exfoliated MoS$_2$. A comparison of the two most common precursors shows that the growth with MoO$_3$ causes greater strain and/or defect density deviations than growth with ammonium heptamolybdate. As part of a heterostructure directly grown MoS$_2$ interacts much stronger with the substrate, and in this case an intercalated water film does not lead to the complete decoupling, which is typical for exfoliation or transfer. Our work shows that the supposedly poorer quality of grown 2D transition metal dichalcogenides is indeed a misconception.
