Monolayer MoS2 (1L-MoS2) is an ideal platform to examine and manipulate two dimensionally confined exciton complexes, which provides a large variety of modulating the optical and electrical properties of 1L-MoS2. Extensive studies of external doping and hybridization exhibit the possibilities of engineering the optical and electrical performance of 1L-MoS2. However, biomodifications of 1L-MoS2 and the characterization and applications of such hybrid structures are rarely reported. In this paper, we present a bio-MoS2 hybrid structure fabricated by laterally stretching strands of DNAs on CVD-grown 1L-MoS2. We observed a strong modification of photoluminescence and Raman spectra with reduced PL intensity and red-shift of PL peak and Raman peaks, which were attributed to electron doping by the DNAs and the presence of tensile strain in 1L-MoS2. Moreover, we observed a significant enhancement of electric mobility in the DNA/1L-MoS2 hybrid compared to that in the pristine 1L-MoS2, which may have been caused by the induced strain in 1L-MoS2.

Developing a new design and structure of transparent conductive oxides (TCO) materials to improve performance in optoelectronic devices are important and quite challenging. Microstructural, optical and electrical properties of sandwiched Al-Ag metals interlayer between top and bottom ITO layers (ITO/Al-Ag/ITO) have been investigated. The multilayer ITO/Al-Ag/ITO (IAAI) films were prepared using RF and DC magnetron sputtering method. Post annealing treatment at 400oC was conducted on IAAI and ITO (for reference) films in air. X-ray diffraction measurements show that the insertion of Al-Ag intermediate bilayer led to the crystallization of Ag interlayer even at as-deposited stage. Peaks intensities at ITO (222), Ag (111) and Al (200) crystal plane were observed after annealing treatment, indicating an enhancement in crystallinity of the IAAI film. The post-annealed IAAI film reveals a continuous and smooth surface roughness with improved growth in grain size as examined by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and field emission scanning electron microscopic (FESEM) respectively. Comparing the optoelectronic properties of IAAI film with single ITO film, the annealed IAAI film exhibited a remarkable improvement in optical transmittance (86.1%) with a very low sheet resistance of 2.93 Ω/sq as measured by UV-Vis spectrophotometer and four-point probe method. The carrier concentration increased more than double when Al-Ag layer was inserted between the ITO layers as determined by Hall Effect measurements. The under layer Al film helps to halts the Ag film agglomeration and oxidation which subsequently enhances the stability of IAAI multilayer film.  The performance of IAAI contact has been found to be high at 76.4 × 10-3 Ω compares to single ITO (69.4 × 10-3) contact as calculated by the figure of merit (FOM).

We developed a simple and effective technique for fabricating a hybrid nanostructure of graphene-silver nanoparticles. The structure was prepared by stacking method with polyvinylpyrrolidone as a stabilizer. The chemical linking of G-PVP-Ag is possible through PVP-based ligand chemistry. The resulting hybrid film exhibited 87% transparency. The electrical properties under UV light increased compared with only one material. The conversion efficiency of a solar cell fabricated with the hybrid structure also increased approximately by 1.5% compared with that of solar cell fabricated without the hybrid film.
