Congratulations to Siyu Zhang, a member of the research team, for publishing an article in the SCI journal 《Nano-Micro Letters》.

Recently, the review article “Recent Progress in the Fabrication, Properties, and Devices of Heterostructures Based on 2D Materials” by Siyu Zhang is published on the high-level SCI journal Nano-Micro Letters (IF: 7.381).

The heterostructures based on 2D materials hold the advantages of the two-dimensional material, and also exhibit unique characteristics that haven’t been found in single 2D material or the heterojunctions based on conventional bulk material, such as excitons with extended lifetime, flexible band engineering and enhanced Valley polarization and more. Therefore, the heterostructures based on 2D materials is undoubtedly a key component of the new generation optoelectronic devices, valleytronics devices and spintronics devices, and has broad application prospects. With the development of preparation technologies of heterostructures based on 2D materials such as dry transfer and CVD synthesis, the research on various physics has been gradually deepened. This review systematically summarizes the research results in the Fabrication, band structure, exciton properties, transport properties and magnetic properties, as well as in the application in optoelectronic devices, electronic devices, valleytronic devices. The review also points out the main challenges faced by the two-dimensional material heterojunction device towards universal application, and proposes the design idea of the future heterostructure and the development trend of the field.

《Nano-Micro Letters》 (NML, Nano-Micro Lett.) is an international journal published by Springer with Open Access Open Access, which publishes nanoscale and micron sciences in the fields of physics, chemistry, materials, biology and engineering. The latest advances in technology provide a professional academic exchange platform for researchers working on nanometer and micrometer scales, and are committed to rapidly publishing research progress and review articles related to nanometer micron. The journal has an impact factor of 7.381 in 2018, which is the highest among the papers that published by the undergraduate and master students in the School of Physics and Electronics.
