“…However, modulating the gap is crucial to control the transport and optical properties in 2D materials, enabling its potential use in the semiconductor industry. There are various strategies to control the gap in 2D materials, such as applying electric [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13], magnetic fields [14], or strain [15][16][17][18][19], presence of impurities [20], or perforation of nanoribbons (antidots) [21], as well as changing of layers number [13,22] or deposition and encapsulation on/in multilayers [23] or forming nanoribbons [15] or multilayer structures [13]. Additionally, it can be achieved through oxidation [24,25], passivation [26], or a combination of diverse effects, such as the interaction between electric fields and strain [27][28][29], or between electric fields and doping [20].…”
