Structural semiconductor-to-semimetal phase transition in two-dimensional materials induced by electrostatic gating

Control of conductivity and optical properties via atomic structure changes is of technological importance in information storage. Here, Li et al.show that electrostatic gating has the potential to drive structural semiconductor-to-semimetal phase transitions in some monolayer transition metal dicha...

Description
Summary:Control of conductivity and optical properties via atomic structure changes is of technological importance in information storage. Here, Li et al.show that electrostatic gating has the potential to drive structural semiconductor-to-semimetal phase transitions in some monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides.
