We report on fabrication and characterization of electronic devices printed with inks of quasi-1D van der Waals materials. The quasi-1D van der Waals materials are characterized by 1D motifs in their crystal structure, which allows for their exfoliation into bundles of atomic chains. The ink was prepared by the liquid-phase exfoliation of crystals of TiS3 semiconductor into quasi-1D nanoribbons dispersed in a mixture of ethanol and ethylene glycol. The temperature dependent electrical measurements indicate that electron transport in the printed devices is dominated by the electron hopping mechanisms. The low-frequency electronic noise in the printed devices is of 1/f type near room temperature (f is the frequency). The abrupt changes in the temperature dependence of the noise spectral density and the spectrum itself can be indicative of the phase transition in individual TiS3 nanoribbons as well as modifications in the hopping transport regime. The obtained results attest to the potential of quasi-1D van der Waals materials for applications in printed electronics.

Quantum computers can potentially achieve an exponential speedup versus classical computers on certain computational tasks, as recently demonstrated in systems of superconducting qubits. However, these qubits have large footprints due to their large capacitor electrodes needed to suppress losses by avoiding dielectric materials. This tactic hinders scaling by increasing parasitic coupling among circuit components, degrading individual qubit addressability, and limiting the spatial density of qubits. Here, we take advantage of the unique properties of the van der Waals (vdW) materials to reduce the qubit area by a factor of $>1000$ while preserving the required capacitance without increasing substantial loss. Our qubits combine conventional aluminum-based Josephson junctions with parallel-plate capacitors composed of crystalline layers of superconducting niobium diselenide (NbSe$_2$) and insulating hexagonal-boron nitride (hBN). We measure a vdW transmon $T_1$ relaxation time of 1.06 $mu$s, which demonstrates a path to achieve high-qubit-density quantum processors with long coherence times, and illustrates the broad utility of layered heterostructures in low-loss, high-coherence quantum devices.
Two-dimensional (2D) materials exhibit a number of improved mechanical, optical, electronic properties compared to their bulk counterparts. The absence of dangling bonds in the cleaved surfaces of these materials allows combining different 2D materia ls into van der Waals heterostructures to fabricate p-n junctions, photodetectors, 2D-2D ohmic contacts that show unexpected performances. These intriguing results are regularly summarized in comprehensive reviews. A strategy to tailor their properties even further and to observe novel quantum phenomena consists in the fabrication of superlattices whose unit cell is formed either by two dissimilar 2D materials or by a 2D material subjected to a periodical perturbation, each component contributing with different characteristics. Furthermore, in a 2D materials-based superlattice, the interlayer interaction between the layers mediated by van der Waals forces constitutes a key parameter to tune the global properties of the superlattice. The above-mentioned factors reflect the potential to devise countless combinations of van der Waals 2D materials based superlattices. In the present feature article, we explain in detail the state-of-the-art of 2D materials-based superlattices and we describe the different methods to fabricate them, classified as vertical stacking, intercalation with atoms or molecules, moire patterning, strain engineering and lithographic design. We also aim to highlight some of the specific applications for each type of superlattices.
We report on the preparation of flexible polymer composite films with aligned metallic fillers comprised of atomic chain bundles of the quasi-one-dimensional (1D) van der Waals material tantalum triselenide, TaSe3. The material functionality, embedde d at the nanoscale level, is achieved by mimicking the design of an electromagnetic aperture grid antenna. The processed composites employ chemically exfoliated TaSe3 nanowires as the grid building blocks incorporated within the thin film. Filler alignment is achieved using the blade coating method. Measurements conducted in the X-band frequency range demonstrate that the electromagnetic transmission through such films can be varied significantly by changing the relative orientations of the quasi-1D fillers and the polarization of the electromagnetic wave. We argue that such polarization-sensitive polymer films with quasi-1D fillers are applicable to advanced electromagnetic interference shielding in future communication systems.
Paper has the potential to dramatically reduce the cost of electronic components. In fact, paper is 10 000 times cheaper than crystalline silicon, motivating the research to integrate electronic materials on paper substrates. Among the different elec tronic materials, van der Waals materials are attracting the interest of the scientific community working on paper-based electronics because of the combination of high electrical performance and mechanical flexibility. Up to now, different methods have been developed to pattern conducting, semiconducting and insulating van der Waals materials on paper but the integration of superconductors remains elusive. Here, the deposition of NbSe2, an illustrative van der Waals superconductor, on standard copy paper is demonstrated. The deposited NbSe2 films on paper display superconducting properties (e.g. observation of Meissner effect and resistance drop to zero-resistance state when cooled down below its critical temperature) similar to those of bulk NbSe2.

The recent emergence of 2D van der Waals magnets down to atomic layer thickness provides an exciting platform for exploring quantum magnetism and spintronics applications. The van der Waals nature stabilizes the long-range ferromagnetic order as a re sult of magnetic anisotropy. Furthermore, giant tunneling magnetoresistance and electrical control of magnetism have been reported. However, the potential of 2D van der Waals magnets for magnonics, magnon-based spintronics, has not been explored yet. Here, we report the experimental observation of long-distance magnon transport in quasi-twodimensional van der Waals antiferromagnet MnPS3, which demonstrates the 2D magnets as promising material candidates for magnonics. As the 2D MnPS3 thickness decreases, a shorter magnon diffusion length is observed, which could be attributed to the surface-impurity-induced magnon scattering. Our results could pave the way for exploring quantum magnonics phenomena and designing future magnonics devices based on 2D van der Waals magnets.
