1. Emerging Photoluminescence in Monolayer MoS 2Nano Letters · 2010 · 9,530 citations

   Novel physical phenomena can emerge in low-dimensional nanomaterials. Bulk MoS(2), a prototypical metal dichalcogenide, is an indirect bandgap semiconductor with negligible photoluminescence. When the MoS(2) crystal is thinned to monolayer, however, a strong photoluminescence emerges, indicating an indirect to direct…

2. Energy Band-Gap Engineering of Graphene NanoribbonsPhysical Review Letters · 2007 · 5,238 citations

   We investigate electronic transport in lithographically patterned graphene ribbon structures where the lateral confinement of charge carriers creates an energy gap near the charge neutrality point. Individual graphene layers are contacted with metal electrodes and patterned into ribbons of varying…
