High-pressure hydrogenation of graphene : towards graphane by Poh, Hwee Ling, Šaněk, Filip, Sofer, Zdeněk, Pumera, Martin

“…We present here a scalable method for the hydrogenation of graphene based on thermal exfoliation of graphite oxide in a hydrogen atmosphere under high pressure (60–150 bar) and temperature (200–500 °C). This method does not require a plasma source and is able to produce gram quantities of the material. …”

Microsecond dark-exciton valley polarization memory in two-dimensional heterostructures by Jiang, Chongyun, Xu, Weigao, Rasmita, Abdullah, Huang, Zumeng, Li, Ke, Xiong, Qihua, Gao, Wei-bo

“…Previous results showed that it is around picosecond in monolayer excitons, nanosecond for local excitons and tens of nanosecond for interlayer excitons. Here we show that the dark excitons in two-dimensional heterostructures provide a microsecond valley polarization memory thanks to the magnetic field induced suppression of valley mixing. …”

A self-rectifying unipolar HfOx based RRAM using doped germanium bottom electrode by Liu, W. J., Tran, Xuan Anh, Sun, Xiaowei, Yu, Hongyu

“…Owning to Schottky barrier between defect states in HfOx layer and n-Ge substrate, RRAM cells possess a self-rectifying behavior in LRS which eliminates the read-out errors induced by leakage current paths in cross-bar array structure. The demonstrated RRAM device shows high ON/OFF ratio (>5 × 102 @ 0.5 V), and its effective Schottky barrier height is also addressed. …”
