Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) thin films, layered quasi-two dimensional (2D) materials, have excellent optical and electronic properties for its special structure. In this paper, the surface morphologies, crystals structures and optical characteristics of MoS2 and Er3+-doped MoS2 (Er: MoS2) thin film samples fabricated on the quartz substrates by sol-gel method were investigated. The result indicated that annealing made the crystallinity and optical absorption characteristics of MoS2 thin films better. The light absorption and photoluminescence intensity was enhanced by doping Er3+. Moreover, the photoluminescence intensity increased with increasing doping concentration, but appears saturation tendency.

In this work, we demonstrate the application of differential reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) to monitor the growth of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) using chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The growth process, optical properties, and structure evolution of MoS2 were recorded by in-situ DRS. Indeed, blue shifts of the characteristic peak B were discussed with the decrease of temperature. We also obtained the imaginary part of the MoS2 dielectric constant according to reflectance spectra. This method provides an approach for studying the change of two-dimensional (2D) materials’ dielectric constant with temperature. More importantly, our work emphasizes that the DRS technique is a non-destructive and effective method for in-situ monitoring the growth of 2D materials, which is helpful in guiding the preparation of 2D materials.

Owing to their extraordinary physical and chemical properties, two-dimensional (2D) materials have aroused extensive attention and have been widely used in photonic and optoelectronic devices, catalytic reactions, and biomedicine. In particular, 2D materials possess a unique bandgap structure and nonlinear optical properties, which can be used as saturable absorbers in ultrafast lasers. Here, we mainly review the top-down and bottom-up methods for preparing 2D materials, such as graphene, topological insulators, transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus, and MXenes. Then, we focus on the ultrafast applications of 2D materials at the typical operating wavelengths of 1, 1.5, 2, and 3 μm. The key parameters and output performance of ultrafast pulsed lasers based on 2D materials are discussed. Furthermore, an outlook regarding the fabrication methods and the development of 2D materials in ultrafast photonics is also presented.

AbstractThe discovery of graphene, the first two-dimensional (2D) material, has caused an upsurge, as this kind of material revealed a tremendous potential of application in areas such as energy storage, electronics, and gas separation. MXenes are referred to as a family of 2D transition metal carbides, carbonitrides, and nitrides. After the synthesis of Ti3C2 from Ti3AlC2 in 2011, about 30 new compositions have been reported. These materials have been widely discussed, synthesized, and investigated by many research groups, as they have many advantages over traditional 2D materials. This review covers the structures of MXenes, discusses various synthesis routines, analyzes the properties, especially optical and electronic properties, and summarizes their applications and potential, which may give readers an overview of these popular materials.

In van der Waals heterostructures, electronic bands of two-dimensional (2D) materials, their nontrivial topology, and electron-electron interactions can be markedly changed by a moiré pattern induced by twist angles between different layers. This process is referred to as twistronics, where the tuning of twist angle can be realized through mechanical manipulation of 2D materials. Here, we demonstrate an experimental technique that can achieve in situ dynamical rotation and manipulation of 2D materials in van der Waals heterostructures. Using this technique, we fabricated heterostructures where graphene is perfectly aligned with both top and bottom encapsulating layers of hexagonal boron nitride. Our technique enables twisted 2D material systems in one single stack with dynamically tunable optical, mechanical, and electronic properties.
