    Abstract Recently, much interest has emerged in fluid-like electric charge transport in various solid-state systems. The hydrodynamic behavior of the electronic fluid reveals itself as a decrease of the electrical resistance with increasing temperature (the Gurzhi effect) in narrow channels, polynomial scaling of the resistance as a function of the channel width, violation of the Wiedemann-Franz law supported by the emergence of the Poiseuille flow. Similar to whirlpools in flowing water, the viscous electronic flow generates vortices, resulting in abnormal sign-changing electrical response driven by backflow. However, the question of whether the long-ranged sign-changing electrical response can be produced by a mechanism other than hydrodynamics has not been addressed so far. Here polarization-sensitive laser microscopy is used to demonstrate the emergence of visually similar abnormal sign-alternating patterns in semi-metallic tungsten ditelluride at room temperature where this material does not exhibit true hydrodynamics. It is found that the neutral quasiparticle current consisting of electrons and holes obeys an equation remarkably similar to the Navier-Stokes equation. In particular, the momentum relaxation is replaced by the much slower process of quasiparticle recombination. This pseudo-hydrodynamic flow of quasiparticles leads to a sign-changing charge accumulation pattern via different diffusivities of electrons and holes.

    Abstract Recently, much interest has emerged in fluid-like electric charge transport in various solid-state systems. The hydrodynamic behavior of the electronic fluid reveals itself as a decrease of the electrical resistance with increasing temperature (the Gurzhi effect) in narrow conducting channels, polynomial scaling of the resistance as a function of the channel width, substantial violation of the Wiedemann-Franz law supported by the emergence of the Poiseuille flow. Similarly to whirlpools in flowing water, the viscous electronic flow generates vortices, resulting in abnormal sign-changing electrical response driven by the backflow of electrical current. Experimentally, the presence of the hydrodynamic vortices was observed in low-temperature graphene as a negative voltage drop near the current-injecting contacts. However, the question of whether the long-ranged sign-changing electrical response can be produced by a mechanism other than hydrodynamics has not been addressed so far. Here we use polarization-sensitive laser microscopy to demonstrate the emergence of visually similar abnormal sign-alternating patterns in charge density in multilayer tungsten ditelluride at room temperature where this material does not exhibit true electronic hydrodynamics. We argue that this pseudo-hydrodynamic behavior appears due to a subtle interplay between the diffusive transport of electrons and holes. In particular, the sign-alternating charge accumulation in WTe2 is supported by the unexpected backflow of compressible neutral electron-hole current, which creates charge-neutral whirlpools in the bulk of this nearly compensated semimetal. We demonstrate that the exceptionally large spatial size of the charge domains is sustained by the long recombination time of electron-hole pairs.

    Abstract Magnetic ordering in two-dimensional (2D) materials has recently emerged as a promising platform for data storage, computing, and sensing. To advance these developments, it is vital to gain a detailed understanding of how the magnetic order evolves on the nanometer-scale as a function of the number of atomic layers and applied magnetic field. Here, we image few-layer $\text{Cr}_2\text{Ge}_2\text{Te}_6$ using a combined scanning superconducting quantum interference device and atomic force microscopy probe. Maps of the material's stray magnetic field as a function of applied magnetic field reveal its magnetization per layer as well as the thickness-dependent magnetic texture. Using a micromagnetic model, we correlate measured stray-field patterns with the underlying magnetization configurations, including labyrinth domains and skyrmionic bubbles. Comparison between real-space images and simulations demonstrates that the layer dependence of the material's magnetic texture is a result of the thickness-dependent balance between crystalline and shape anisotropy. These findings represent an important step towards 2D spintronic devices with engineered spin configurations and controlled dependence on external magnetic fields.

    Abstract Mesoscopic fluctuations, manifesting the quantum interference (QI) of electrons, have been theoretically proposed in bilayer Coulomb drag systems. Unfortunately, these phenomena are usually observed at cryogenic temperatures, which severely limits their novel physics for pragmatic applications.

    Abstract Nanostructuring allows altering of the electronic and photonic properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials. The efficiency, flexibility, and convenience of top-down lithography processes are, however, compromised by nanometer-scale edge roughness and resolution variability issues, which especially affect the performance of 2D materials. Here, we study how dry anisotropic etching of multilayer 2D materials with sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) may overcome some of these issues, showing results for hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), tungsten disulfide (WS₂), tungsten diselenide (WSe₂), molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂), and molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe₂). Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy reveal that etching leads to anisotropic hexagonal features in the studied transition metal dichalcogenides, with the relative degree of anisotropy ranked as: WS₂ > WSe₂ > MoTe₂ ∼ MoS₂. Etched holes are terminated by zigzag edges while etched dots (protrusions) are terminated by armchair edges. This can be explained by Wulff constructions, taking the relative stabilities of the edges and the AA′ stacking order into account. Patterns in WS₂ are transferred to an underlying graphite layer, demonstrating a possible use for creating sub-10 nm features. In contrast, multilayer hBN exhibits no lateral anisotropy but shows consistent vertical etch angles, independent of crystal orientation. Using an hBN crystal as the base, ultrasharp corners can be created in lithographic patterns, which are then transferred to a graphite crystal underneath. We find that the anisotropic SF₆ reactive ion etching process makes it possible to downsize nanostructures and obtain smooth edges, sharp corners, and feature sizes significantly below the resolution limit of electron beam lithography. The nanostructured 2D materials can be used themselves or as etch masks to pattern other nanomaterials.

    Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) materials have been emerging as potential candidates for the next-generation materials in various technology fields. The performance of the devices based on these 2D materials depends on their intrinsic band structures as well as the extrinsic (doping) effects such as surrounding chemicals and environmental oxygen/moisture, which strongly determines their Fermi energy level. Herein, we report the UV treatments on the 2D transition-metal dichalcogenides, to controllably dope the samples without damaging the crystal structures or quenching the luminescence properties. More surprisingly, both n-type and p-type doping can be achieved depending on the initial status of the sample and the UV treatment conditions. The doping mechanisms were elaborated on the atomic scale with transmission electron microscopy and ab initio calculations. The facile doping by UV light has potential to be integrated with photolithography processes, aiming for the large-scale integrated device/circuits design and fabrications.

    Abstract Photovoltaic device performance of graphene/n-Si Schottky diodes is largely affected by inhomogeneous oxide formation at the interface that suppresses the tunneling current of injected and photoexcited charges. The accumulated trap charges at low current induce charge recombination at the interface and degrade the ideality factor of the diode and the fill factor (FF) of the solar cell. This consequently gives rise to a nonlinear current-voltage ( I- V) feature in solar cells, commonly known as an S-shaped kink, which can be engineered by optimizing the interface barrier thickness or by increasing the carrier mobility. Here, we present chemical and electrochemical doping methods to increase the conductivity of graphene that transforms nonlinear kink photodiodes with a low FF and solar cell efficiency towards trap-free linear photovoltaic I- V. Space-charge-limited-current manifested Ohmic I- V diode behavior with enhanced conductance in graphene by injecting homogeneous ionic liquid; confirming the significant reduction of trap charge density. This was further congruent with the disappearance of the nonlinear kink in photodiodes with a high FF and nearly ideal diodes. The solar cell efficiency obtained with our strategy is around 13.6% and suggests possibilities to reach the theoretical limit of 19% by tailoring parameters such as conductance of graphene, carrier density of Si, and oxidation of the interfaces.

    Abstract Abstract Diluted magnetic semiconductors including Mn‐doped GaAs are attractive for gate‐controlled spintronics but Curie transition at room temperature with long‐range ferromagnetic order is still debatable to date. Here, the room‐temperature ferromagnetic domains with long‐range order in semiconducting V‐doped WSe2 monolayer synthesized by chemical vapor deposition are reported. Ferromagnetic order is manifested using magnetic force microscopy up to 360 K, while retaining high on/off current ratio of ≈105 at 0.1% V‐doping concentration. The V‐substitution to W sites keeps a V–V separation distance of 5 nm without V–V aggregation, scrutinized by high‐resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy. More importantly, the ferromagnetic order is clearly modulated by applying a back‐gate bias. The findings open new opportunities for using 2D transition metal dichalcogenides for future spintronics.

    Abstract 2D van der Waals (vdWs) heterostructures exhibit intriguing optoelectronic properties in photodetectors, solar cells, and light-emitting diodes. In addition, these materials have the potential to be further extended to optical memories with promising broadband applications for image sensing, logic gates, and synaptic devices for neuromorphic computing. In particular, high programming voltage, high off-power consumption, and circuital complexity in integration are primary concerns in the development of three-terminal optical memory devices. This study describes a multilevel nonvolatile optical memory device with a two-terminal floating-gate field-effect transistor with a MoS
