With the use of density functional theory calculations and addition of van der Waals correction, the graphene/HfS$_2$ heterojunction is constructed, and its electronic properties are examined thoroughly. This interface is determined as $n$-type Ohmic and the impacts of different amounts of interlayer distance and strain on the contact are shown using Schottky barrier height and electron injection efficiency. Dipole moment and workfunction of the interface are also altered when subjected to change in these two categories. The transition between Ohmic to Schottky contact is also depicted to be possible by applying a perpendicular electric field, proving this to be yet another useful method for tuning different properties of this structure. The conclusions given in this paper can exert an immense amount of influence on the development of two-dimensional HfS$_2$ based devices in the future.

Early processing of visual information takes place in the human retina. Mimicking neurobiological structures and functionalities of the retina provide a promising pathway to achieving vision sensor with highly efficient image processing. Here, we dem
onstrate a prototype vision sensor that operates via the gate-tunable positive and negative photoresponses of the van der Waals (vdW) vertical heterostructures. The sensor emulates not only the neurobiological functionalities of bipolar cells and photoreceptors but also the unique synaptic connectivity between bipolar cells and photoreceptors. By tuning gate voltage for each pixel, we achieve reconfigurable vision sensor for simultaneously image sensing and processing. Furthermore, our prototype vision sensor itself can be trained to classify the input images, via updating the gate voltages applied individually to each pixel in the sensor. Our work indicates that vdW vertical heterostructures offer a promising platform for the development of neural network vision sensor.
We demonstrate a new method of designing 2D functional magnetic topological heterostructure (HS) by exploiting the vdw heterostructure (vdw-HS) through combining 2D magnet CrI$_3$ and 2D materials (Ge/Sb) to realize new 2D topological system with non
zero Chern number (C=1) and chiral edge state. The nontrivial topology originates primarily from the CrI$_3$ layer while the non-magnetic element induces the charge transfer process and proximity enhanced spin-orbit coupling. Due to these unique properties, our topological magnetic vdw-HS overcomes the weak magnetization via proximity effect in previous designs since the magnetization and topology coexist in the same magnetic layer. Specifically, our systems of bilayer CrI$_3$/Sb and trilayer CrI$_3$/Sb/CrI$_3$ exhibit different topological ground state ranging from antiferromagnetic topological crystalline insulator (C$_M$= 2) to a QAHE. These nontrivial topological transition is shown to be switchable in a trilayer configuration due to the magnetic switching from antiferromagnetism to ferromangetism in the presence an external perpendicular electric field with value as small as 0.05 eV/A. Thus our study proposes a realistic system to design switchable magnetic topological device with electric field.
The promise of high-density and low-energy-consumption devices motivates the search for layered structures that stabilize chiral spin textures such as topologically protected skyrmions. At the same time, layered structures provide a new platform for
the discovery of new physics and effects. Recently discovered long-range intrinsic magnetic orders in the two-dimensional van der Waals materials offer new opportunities. Here we demonstrate the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and Neel-type skyrmions are induced at the WTe2/Fe3GeTe2 interface. Fe3GeTe2 is a ferromagnetic material with strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. We demonstrate that the strong spin orbit interaction in 1T-WTe2 does induce a large interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction at the interface with Fe3GeTe2 due to the inversion symmetry breaking to stabilize skyrmions. Transport measurements show the topological Hall effect in this heterostructure for temperatures below 100 K. Furthermore, Lorentz transmission electron microscopy is used to directly image Neel-type skyrmions along with aligned and stripe-like domain structure. This interfacial coupling induced Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction is estimated to have a large energy of 1.0 mJ/m^2, which can stabilize the Neel-type skyrmions in this heterostructure. This work paves a path towards the skyrmionic devices based on van der Waals heterostructures.
In this work we demonstrate that a free-standing van der Waals heterostructure, usually regarded as a flat object, can exhibit an intrinsic buckled atomic structure resulting from the interaction between two layers with a small lattice mismatch. We s
tudied a freely suspended membrane of well aligned graphene on a hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) monolayer by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning TEM (STEM). We developed a detection method in the STEM that is capable of recording the direction of the scattered electron beam and that is extremely sensitive to the local stacking of atoms. Comparison between experimental data and simulated models shows that the heterostructure effectively bends in the out-of-plane direction, producing an undulated structure having a periodicity that matches the moire wavelength. We attribute this rippling to the interlayer interaction and also show how this affects the intralayer strain in each layer.
Two-dimensional (2D) MoSi$_2$N$_4$ monolayer is an emerging class of air-stable 2D semiconductor possessing exceptional electrical and mechanical properties. Despite intensive recent research efforts devoted to uncover the material properties of MoSi
$_2$N$_4$, the physics of electrical contacts to MoSi$_2$N$_4$ remains largely unexplored thus far. In this work, we study the van der Waals heterostructures composed of MoSi$_2$N$_4$ contacted by graphene and NbS$_2$ monolayers using first-principle density functional theory calculations. We show that the MoSi$_2$N$_4$/NbS$_2$ contact exhibits an ultralow Schottky barrier height (SBH), which is beneficial for nanoelectronics applications. For MoSi$_2$N$_4$/graphene contact, the SBH can be modulated via interlayer distance or via external electric fields, thus opening up an opportunity for reconfigurable and tunable nanoelectronic devices. Our findings provide insights on the physics of 2D electrical contact to MoSi$_2$N$_4$, and shall offer a critical first step towards the design of high-performance electrical contacts to MoSi$_2$N$_4$-based 2D nanodevices.
