Wu group discovered a new mode of electron conduction in solids: decoupled charge and heat transport.
Wu group discovered a new mode of electron conduction in solids: decoupled charge and heat transport. by Daisy Hernandez January 26, 2017 In metals, electrons carry both charge and heat. As a consequence, electrical conductivity and the electronic contribution to the thermal conductivity are typically proportional to each other. Prof. Junqiao Wu’s group and collaborators…

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…
