  • Controlled synthesis and transfer of large area heterostructures made of bilayer and multilayer transition metal dichalocogenides
    Patent number: 10319825
    Abstract: A TMD system in which the first layered material is made of heterobilayers or multilayers with semiconducting direct band gaps is provided. The first layered material may be made of multiple layers of different TMD with different stackings, exhibiting smaller direct and indirect band gaps smaller than monolayer systems of TMD.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 4, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 11, 2019
    Assignee: The Penn State Research Foundation
    Inventors: Humberto Terrones, Mauricio Terrones, Ana Laura Elias, Nestor Perea-Lopez

  • CVD-GROWN GRAPHITE NANORIBBONS
    Publication number: 20090226361
    Abstract: The nanoribbon structure includes a plurality of thin graphite ribbons having long and highly crystalline structure. A voltage is applied across the length of the thin graphite ribbons to cause current flow so as to increase crystallinity as well as establishing interplanar stacking order and well-defined graphene edges of the thin graphite ribbons.
