Present spintronic research [1,2,3] involves virtually all materials families but ferromagnetic semiconductors are particularly attractive as they combine resources of both semiconductors and ferromagnets. We describe here recent studies of ferromagnetic Crand Mn-based II-VI diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) excluding, however, oxides that are subject of another presentation [4]. Properties...

The integration of high-k dielectrics with two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors is a critical step towards high-performance nanoelectronics, which however remains challenging due to the high density interface states and damage monolayer 2D semiconductors. In this study, we propose selective hydrogenation strategy improve properties while are not affected. Using molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) silico...

It is normally expected that an excellent optical material should have p → s-like transitions at the absorption edge. This is because the strength of p → s-like transitions usually is much stronger than those of p → p transitions, especially in those ionic semiconductors where the electronic states are more localized and behave as atomic characters. Here, we demonstrate an exception that the lu...
