A study published in Advanced Materials reveals the
thermal transport properties of ultrathin crystals of molybdenum
diselenide, a two-dimensional material of the transition metal
dichalcogenide (TMD) family. Outperforming silicon, TMD materials
prove to be outstanding candidates for electronic and
optoelectronic applications, such as flexible and wearable devices.
This research, which involved researchers belonging to four ICN2
groups and from ICFO (Barcelona), Utrecht University (the
Netherlands), the University of Liège (Belgium) and the Weizmann
Institute of Science (Israel), was coordinated by ICN2 group leader
Dr. Klaas-Jan Tielrooij.
