Based on first-principles calculations, we studied the geometric configuration, stability and electronic structure of the two-dimensional Janus MoTeB2. The MoTeB2 monolayer is semimetal, and its attractive electronic structure reveals the perfect electron-hole compensation. Moreover, the electron-type and hole-type bands of the MoTeB2 monolayer are easily adjustable by external stain and charge doping, such as the switch of carrier polarity by charge doping, and the metal-semiconductor transition under tensile stain. These properties allow the MoTeB2 monolayer to be a controllable two-dimensional material with extraordinary large magnetoresistance in magnetic field.

We report a proof-of-concept study of extraordinary magnetoresistance (EMR) in devices of monolayer graphene encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride, having metallic edge contacts and a central metal shunt. Extremely large EMR values, $MR=(R(B) - R_0
) / R_0sim 10^5$, are achieved in part because $R_0$ approaches or crosses zero as a function of the gate voltage, exceeding that achieved in high mobility bulk semiconductor devices. We highlight the sensitivity, $dR/dB$, which in two-terminal measurements is the highest yet reported for EMR devices, and in particular exceeds prior results in graphene-based devices by a factor of 20. An asymmetry in the zero-field transport is traced to the presence of $pn$-junctions at the graphene-metal shunt interface.
Janus single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides, in which the two chalcogen layers have a different chemical nature, push chemical composition control beyond what is usually achievable with van der Waals heterostructures. Here we report such a no
vel Janus compound, SPtSe, which is predicted to exhibit strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling. We synthetized it by conversion of a single-layer of PtSe$_2$ on Pt(111) via sulphurization under H$_2$S atmosphere. Our in situ and operando structural analysis with grazing incidence synchrotron X-ray diffraction reveals the process by which the Janus alloy forms. The crystalline long-range order of the as-grown PtSe$_2$ monolayer is first lost due to thermal annealing. A subsequent recrystallization in presence of a source of sulphur yields a highly ordered SPtSe alloy, which is iso-structural to the pristine PtSe$_2$. The chemical composition is resolved, layer-by-layer, using angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, demonstrating that Se-by-S substitution occurs selectively in the topmost chalcogen layer.
The electron-hole separation efficiency is a key factor that determines the performance of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and devices. Therefore, searching for novel 2D TMD materials with long timescale of carrier lifeti
me becomes one of the most important topics. Here, based on the timedomain density functional theory (TD-DFT), we propose a brand new TMD material, namely janus-MoSTe, which exhibits a strong build-in electric field. Our results show that in janus-MoSTe monolayer, the exciton consisting of electron and hole has a relatively wide spatial extension and low binding energy. In addition, a slow electron-hole recombination process is observed, with timescale on the order of 1.31 ns, which is even comparable with those of van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures. Further analysis reveals that the extremely long timescale for electron-hole recombination could be ascribed to the strong Coulomb screening effect as well as the small overlap of wavefunctions between electrons and holes. Our findings establish the build-in electric field as an effective factor to control the electron-hole recombination dynamics in TMD monolayers and facilitate their future applications in light detecting and harvesting.
Two-dimensional (2D) intrinsic ferromagnetic semiconductors are expected to stand out in the spintronic field. Recently, the monolayer VI$_{3}$ has been experimentally synthesized but the weak ferromagnetism and low Curie temperature ($T_C$) limit it
s potential application. Here we report that the Janus structure can elevate the $T_C$ to 240 K. And it is discussed that the reason for high $T_C$ in Janus structure originates from the lower virtual exchange gap between $t_{2g}$ and $e_{g}$ states of nearest-neighbor V atoms. Besides, $T_C$ can be further substantially enhanced by tensile strain due to the increasing ferromagnetism driven by rapidly quenched direct exchange interaction. Our work supports a feasible approach to enhance Curie temperature of monolayer VI$_{3}$ and unveils novel stable intrinsic FM semiconductors for realistic applications in spintronics.
Skyrmions are localized solitonic spin textures with protected topology, which are promising as information carriers in ultra-dense and energy-efficient logic and memory devices. Recently, magnetic skyrmions have been observed in magnetic thin films,
and are stabilized by the extrinsic interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) and/or external magnetic fields. The specific effects in magnetic monolayer materials have not been thoroughly studied. Here, we investigate the intrinsic magnetic skyrmions in a family of monolayer Janus van der Waals magnets, MnSTe, MnSeTe, VSeTe, and MnSSe, by the first-principles calculations combined with the micromagnetic simulations. The monolayer Janus MnSTe, MnSeTe, and VSeTe with out-of-plane geometric asymmetry and strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) have a large intrinsic DMI, which could stabilize a sub-50 nm intrinsic skyrmions in monolayer MnSTe and MnSeTe at zero magnetic field. While monolayer VSeTe with in-plane easy axis forms magnetic domain rather than skyrmions. Moreover, the size and shape of skyrmions can be tuned by an external magnetic field. Therefore, our work motivates a new vista for seeking intrinsic skyrmions in atomic-scale magnets.
