ABSTRACTScanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/STS) are used to electronically switch atomically-thin memristors, referred to as “atomristors”, based on a graphene/molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)/Au heterostructure. A gold-assisted exfoliation method was used to produce near-millimeter (mm) scale MoS2 on Au thin-film substrates, followed by transfer of a separately exfoliated graphene top layer. Our results reveal that it is possible to switch the conductivity of a graphene/MoS2/Au memristor stack using an STM tip. These results provide a path to further studies of atomically-thin memristors fabricated from heterostructures of two-dimensional materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs).

We report the synthesis of superhydrophobic two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides by modulation of the degree of atomic defects. The presence of atomic vacancies in 2D molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanoassemblies dictated hydrophilic-to-hydrophobic transition and subsequent cell adhesion.

2D materials like transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorous, silicene, graphene are at the forefront of being the most potent 2D materials for optoelectronic applications because of their exceptional properties. Several application-specific photodetectors based on 2D materials have been designed and manufactured due to a wide range and layer-dependent bandgaps. Different 2D materials stacked together give rise to many surprising electronic and optoelectronic phenomena of the junctions based on 2D materials. This has resulted in a lot of popularity of 2D heterostructures as compared to the original 2D materials. This chapter presents the progress of optoelectronic devices (photodetectors) based on 2D materials and their heterostructures.
