Abstract:In recent years, defect engineering has shown great potential to improve the properties of metal oxide nanomaterials for various applications thus received extensive investigations. While traditional techniques mostly focus on controlling the defects during the synthesis of the material, laser irradiation has emerged as a promising post-deposition technique to further modulate the properties of defects yet there is still limited information. In this article, defects such as oxygen vacancies are tailored in ZnO… Show more
“…It is worth noting that valley manipulation by vacancy is practical and offers superior advantages over conventional methods. Firstly, vacancy generation can be achieved through straightforward techniques such as laser irradiation 64 and plasma treatment, 65 which are simpler compared to magnetic doping and proximity effects. Secondly, unlike optical pumping and applied electric fields, the valley polarization induced by vacancies is nonvolatile.…”
The investigation and manipulation of valley pseudospin in promising two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are essential for accelerating the development of valleytronics. Based on first-principles, we herein report that WSeNH monolayer is...
