Wu Group Discovers New 2D Semiconductor
Wu Group Discovers New 2D Semiconductor by Materials Science and Engineering February 6, 2015 Prof. Junqiao Wu’s group has discovered a new two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor, Rhenium disulfide (ReS2). Unlike molybdenum disulfide and other well studied dichalcogenides, ReS2 behaves electronically as if it were a 2D monolayer even as a 3D bulk material. This not only…
