Silicene, a silicon analogue of graphene, has attracted increasing attention during the past
few years. As early as in 1994, the possibility of stage corrugation in the Si analogs of …

Various types of biochar have been widely used to remediate soil contamination from heavy
metals (HMs) and to reduce HM mobility and bioavailability in soils in recent years. Most …

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are very promising channel materials in next-generation
field effect transistors (FETs) due to the enhanced gate electrostatics and smooth surface…

Macroscopic batch experiments and microscopic spectroscopic characterization by powder
X-ray diffraction (p-XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray …

The accumulation of heavy metals in soil may introduce them to the food chain and cause
health risks for humans. In the present study, 43 pairs of soil and grape samples (leaf and fruit) …

Most of the classical conditioning laws implemented by existing circuits are involved in learning
and forgetting between only three neurons, and the problems between multiple neurons …

Water status is the main factor affecting rice production. In order to understand rice strategies
in response to drought condition in the field, the drought-responsive mechanisms at the …

Opening a sizable band gap without degrading its high carrier mobility is as vital for silicene
as for graphene to its application as a high-performance field effect transistor (FET). Our …

Although many prototype devices based on two-dimensional (2D) MoS 2 have been fabricated
and wafer scale growth of 2D MoS 2 has been realized, the fundamental nature of 2D …

Presently Si-based field-effect transistors (FETs) are approaching their physical limit, and
further scaling their gate length down to the sub-10 nm region is becoming extremely difficult. …
