Transistor reshapes electronic properties of a 2D material

Summary

Nutrition label

89% Informative

A RIKEN study shows that squeezing the right amount of potassium ions between the atomic layers of molybdenum disulfide can turn it from a semiconductor into a metal, superconductor or insulator.

The same layered material can be made to behave as a metal or semiconductor by using a transistor device to tweak its electronic properties.

The study is published in the journal Nano Letters .
