Strain modulation on the spin transport properties of PTB junctions with MoC₂ electrodes

Abstract

Based on MoC2 nanoribbons and poly-(terphenylene-butadiynylene) (PTB) molecules, we designed MoC2-PTB molecular spintronic devices and investigated their spin-dependent electron transport properties by using spin-polarized density functional theory and non-equilibrium Green's...

2D Ti3C2-MXene Nanosheets/ZnO Nanorods for UV Photodetectors

“…MXenes are a new branch of layered materials with fascinating electronic and optical properties and solution processability, allowing them to be widely used in various electronic and optoelectronic devices, such as transistors, photocatalysts, , photosensors, , and LEDs. , MXenes, including Ti 3 C 2 , MoC 2 , V 3 C 2 , and Ti 4 N 3 , are layered transition-metal carbides, nitrides, or carbonitrides that are produced when MAX phases exfoliate. MXenes are superior to Au nanoparticles as Schottky electrode materials because of their tunable work function (1.6–8.0 eV), outstanding optical transparency, and metallic conductivity. , As transparent Schottky contacts, MXenes have already been integrated with Si, GaAs, TiO 2 , perovskites, and so on.…”

MXene-based hydrogels towards the photothermal applications

“…Generally, MXenes have the chemical formula M n+1 X n T x , where M represents early transition metals (e.g. Ti, V, Mo, Ta, etc), X means element C and/or N with n varies from 1 to 4, while T x stands for surface terminated groups (e.g., -OH, O, and/or F) [24,25]. To date, more than 30 MXenes have been successfully synthesized [22,26].…”
