Black phosphorus: a two-dimensional reductant for in situ nanofabrication

Two-dimensional magnetotransport in a black phosphorus naked quantum well

Black phosphorus (bP) is the second known elemental allotrope with a layered crystal structure that can be mechanically exfoliated to atomic layer thickness. Unlike metallic graphite and semi-metallic graphene, bP is a semiconductor in both bulk and few-layer form. Here we fabricate bP-naked quantum wells in a back-gated field effect transistor geometry with bP thicknesses ranging from 6±1 nm t...

Quantum Oscillations in Black Phosphorus Two- dimensional Electron Gas

Amorphous two-dimensional black phosphorus with exceptional photocarrier transport properties

Recently, two-dimensional materials have been extensively studied. Due to the reduced dielectric screening and confinement of electrons in two dimensions, these materials show dramatically different electronic and optical properties from their bulk counterparts. So far, studies on twodimensional materials have mainly focused on crystalline materials. Here we report studies of atomically thin am...

Analytical Solution for Two-Dimensional Coupled Thermoelastodynamics in a Cylinder

An infinitely long hollow cylinder containing isotropic linear elastic material is considered under the effect of arbitrary boundary stress and thermal condition. The two-dimensional coupled thermoelastodynamic PDEs are specified based on equations of motion and energy equation, which are uncoupled using Nowacki potential functions. The Laplace integral transform and Bessel-Fourier series are u...

Two dimensional semiconductors for ultrasound-mediated cancer therapy: the case of black phosphorus nanosheets.

With black phosphorus (BP) as an example, the first two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor based sonosensitizer (Au@BP nanohybrids) was fabricated. Under ultrasound irradiation, Au@BP nanohybrids can generate 1O2 in deep tissues and eradicate tumors with high efficacy. This platform paves the way for the application of 2D semiconductors in sonodynamic cancer therapy.
