Two-dimensional (2d) nano-electronics, plasmonics, and emergent phases require clean and local charge control, calling for layered, crystalline acceptors or donors. Our Raman, photovoltage, and electrical conductance measurements combined with textit{ab initio} calculations establish the large work function and narrow bands of $alpha$-RuCl$_3$ enable modulation doping of exfoliated, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) materials. Short-ranged lateral doping (${leq}65 text{nm}$) and high homogeneity are achieved in proximate materials with a single layer of arucl. This leads to the highest monolayer graphene (mlg) mobilities ($4,900 text{cm}^2/ text{Vs}$) at these high hole densities ($3times10^{13} text{cm}^{-2}$); and yields larger charge transfer to bilayer graphene (blg) ($6times10^{13} text{cm}^{-2}$). We further demonstrate proof of principle optical sensing, control via twist angle, and charge transfer through hexagonal boron nitride (hBN).

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal nitrides (TMNs) are new members in the 2D materials family with a wide range of applications. Particularly, highly crystalline and large area thin films of TMNs are potentially promising for applications in elect ronic and optoelectronic devices; however, the synthesis of such TMNs has not yet been achieved. Here, we report the synthesis of few-nanometer thin Mo5N6 crystals with large area and high quality via in situ chemical conversion of layered MoS2 crystals. The structure and quality of the ultrathin Mo5N6 crystal are confirmed using transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The large lateral dimensions of Mo5N6 crystals are inherited from the MoS2 crystals that are used for the conversion. Atomic force microscopy characterization reveals the thickness of Mo5N6 crystals is reduced to about 1/3 of the MoS2 crystal. Electrical measurements show the obtained Mo5N6 samples are metallic with high electrical conductivity (~ 100 {Omega} sq-1), which is comparable to graphene. The versatility of this general approach is demonstrated by expanding the method to synthesize W5N6 and TiN. Our strategy offers a new direction for preparing 2D TMNs with desirable characteristics, opening a door for studying fundamental physics and facilitating the development of next generation electronics.
Low-resistivity metal-semiconductor (M-S) contact is one of the urgent challenges in the research of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Here, we report a chloride molecular doping technique which greatly reduces the contact resistance (Rc) i n the few-layer WS2 and MoS2. After doping, the Rc of WS2 and MoS2 have been decreased to 0.7 kohm*um and 0.5 kohm*um, respectively. The significant reduction of the Rc is attributed to the achieved high electron doping density thus significant reduction of Schottky barrier width. As a proof-ofconcept, high-performance few-layer WS2 field-effect transistors (FETs) are demonstrated, exhibiting a high drain current of 380 uA/um, an on/off ratio of 4*106, and a peak field-effect mobility of 60 cm2/V*s. This doping technique provides a highly viable route to diminish the Rc in TMDs, paving the way for high-performance 2D nano-electronic devices.
Aluminum nitride (AlN) plays a key role in modern power electronics and deep-ultraviolet photonics, where an understanding of its thermal properties is essential. Here we measure the thermal conductivity of crystalline AlN by the 3${omega}$ method, f inding it ranges from 674 ${pm}$ 56 W/m/K at 100 K to 186 ${pm}$ 7 W/m/K at 400 K, with a value of 237 ${pm}$ 6 W/m/K at room temperature. We compare these data with analytical models and first principles calculations, taking into account atomic-scale defects (O, Si, C impurities, and Al vacancies). We find Al vacancies play the greatest role in reducing thermal conductivity because of the largest mass-difference scattering. Modeling also reveals that 10% of heat conduction is contributed by phonons with long mean free paths, over ~7 ${mu}$m at room temperature, and 50% by phonons with MFPs over ~0.3 ${mu}$m. Consequently, the effective thermal conductivity of AlN is strongly reduced in sub-micron thin films or devices due to phonon-boundary scattering.
The magnitude of spin-orbit torque (SOT), exerted to a ferromagnet (FM) from an adjacent heavy metal (HM), strongly depends on the amount of spin currents absorbed in the FM. We exploit the large spin absorption at the Ru interface to manipulate the SOTs in HM/FM/Ru multilayers. While the FM thickness is smaller than its spin dephasing length of 1.2 nm, the top Ru layer largely boosts the absorption of spin currents into the FM layer and substantially enhances the strength of SOT acting on the FM. Spin-pumping experiments induced by ferromagnetic resonance support our conclusions that the observed increase in the SOT efficiency can be attributed to an enhancement of the spin-current absorption. A theoretical model that considers both reflected and transmitted mixing conductances at the two interfaces of FM is developed to explain the results.
Work function-mediated charge transfer in graphene/$alpha$-RuCl$_3$ heterostructures has been proposed as a strategy for generating highly-doped 2D interfaces. In this geometry, graphene should become sufficiently doped to host surface and edge plasm on-polaritons (SPPs and EPPs, respectively). Characterization of the SPP and EPP behavior as a function of frequency and temperature can be used to simultaneously probe the magnitude of interlayer charge transfer while extracting the optical response of the interfacial doped $alpha$-RuCl$_3$. We accomplish this using scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) in conjunction with first-principles DFT calculations. This reveals massive interlayer charge transfer (2.7 $times$ 10$^{13}$ cm$^{-2}$) and enhanced optical conductivity in $alpha$-RuCl$_3$ as a result of significant electron doping. Our results provide a general strategy for generating highly-doped plasmonic interfaces in the 2D limit in a scanning probe-accessible geometry without need of an electrostatic gate.
