Researchers increase MoS2's light emission by 12 times
02 April, 2015Monolayer molybdenum disulfide's (MoS2) ultrathin structure is strong, lightweight and flexible, making it a good candidate for many applications, such as high-performance, flexible electronics. However, such a thin semiconducting material has very little interaction with light, limiting the material's use in light emitting and absorbing applications.
