Towards superconductivity in p-type delta-doped Si/Al/Si heterostructures

July 30, 2018
Author(s)
Aruna N. Ramanayaka, Hyun Soo Kim, Joseph A. Hagmann, Roy E. Murray, Ke Tang, Neil M. Zimmerman, Curt A. Richter, Joshua M. Pomeroy, Frederick Meisenkothen, Huairuo Zhang, Albert Davydov, Leonid A. Bendersky
In pursuit of superconductivity in p-type silicon (Si), we are using a single atomic layer of aluminum (Al) sandwiched between a Si substrate and a thin Si epi-layer. The delta layer was fabricated starting from an ultra high vacuum (UHV) flash anneal of

Probing the Optical Properties and Strain-Tuning of Ultrathin Mo1-xWxTe2

Ozgur B. Aslan, Isha M. Datye, Michal J. Mleczko, Karen Lau, Sergiy Krylyuk, Alina Bruma, Irina Kalish, Albert Davydov, Eric Pop, Tony F. Heinz
Ultrathin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have recently been extensively investigated to understand their electronic and optical properties. Here we study ultrathin Mo0.91W0.09Te2, a semiconducting alloy of MoTe2, using Raman, photoluminescence

Electrochemical Detection of Acetaminophen with Silicon Nanowires

Raja Ram Pandey, Hussain S. Alshahrani, Sergiy Krylyuk, Elissa Williams, Albert Davydov, Charles C. Chusuei
Acetaminophen (APAP) is an antipyretic, analgesic agent. Overdose during medical treatment poses a risk for liver failure. Hence, it is important to develop methods to monitor APAP in the body to avoid APAP toxicity. Here, we report an efficient and

Nanoscale Heterogeneities in Monolayer MoSe2 Revealed by Correlated Scanning Probe Microscopy and Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

December 26, 2017
Author(s)
Albert Davydov, Sergiy Krylyuk, Payam Taheri, Kirby K. Smithe, Andrey V. Krayev, Connor S. Bailey, Hye R. Lee, Eilam Yalon, Ozgur B. Aslan, Miguel M. Rojo, Tony F. Heinz, Eric Pop
Understanding growth, grain boundaries (GBs), and defects of emerging two-dimensional (2D) materials is key to enabling their future applications. For quick, non-destructive metrology, many studies rely on confocal Raman spectroscopy, whose spatial

Nanowire Aptasensors for Electrochemical Detection of Cell-Secreted Cytokines

October 9, 2017
Author(s)
Ying Liu, Ali Rahimian, Sergiy Krylyuk, Tam Vu, Bruno Crulhas, Gulnaz Stybayeva, Dong-Sik Shin, Albert Davydov, Alexander Revzin, Meruyert Imanbekova
Cytokines are small proteins secreted by immune cells in response to pathogens/infections; therefore these proteins can be used in diagnosing infectious diseases. For example, release of a cytokine interferon (IFN)-γ from T-cells is used for blood-based

The structural phases and vibrational properties of Mo1-xWxTe2 alloys

September 1, 2017
Author(s)
Sean M. Oliver, Ryan Beams, Sergiy Krylyuk, Arunima Singh, Irina Kalish, Alina Bruma, Francesca Tavazza, Iris Stone, Stephan J. Stranick, Albert Davydov, Patrick M. Vora
The structural polymorphism in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) provides exciting opportunities for developing advanced electronics. For example, MoTe2 crystallizes in the 2H semiconducting phase at ambient temperature and pressure, but transitions

Novel Nanofluidic Chemical Cells based on Self-Assembled Solid-State SiO2 Nanotubes

Hao Zhu, Haitao Li, Arvind Balijepalli, Joseph W. Robertson, Sergiy Krylyuk, Albert Davydov, John J. Kasianowicz, John S. Suehle, Qiliang Li
Novel nanofluidic chemical cells based on self-assembled solid-state SiO2 nanotubes on silicon- on-insulator (SOI) substrates have been successfully fabricated and tested. The vertical SiO2 nanotubes with a smooth cavity are built from Si nanowires which

Structural and electrical analysis of epitaxial 2D/3D vertical heterojunctions of monolayer MoS2 on GaN

Albert Davydov, Terrance P. O'Regan, Andrew A. Herzing, Dimitry Ruzmetov, Robert A. Burke, Kehao Zhang, A. Glen Birdwell, DeCarlos Taylor, E Byrd, Joshua A. Robinson, Tony G. Ivanov, M R. Neupane, S D. Walck
Integrating two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) semiconductors to realize vertical heterojunctions with novel electronic and optoelectronic properties is gaining interest from the device community. In this study, we utilize an approach that

Fabrication and Characterization of Humidity Sensors based on CVD Grown MoS2 Thin Film

July 25, 2017

Shiqi Guo, Abbas Arab, Sergiy Krylyuk, Albert Davydov, Mona E. Zaghloul
Recent advances in two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides have demonstrated their potential application in chemical sensors. However, the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) humidity sensors are still largely

Strain engineering a 4a*?3a charge-density-wave phase in transition-metal dichalcogenide 1T-VSe2
