Hersam1,2,* 1Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois 60208, USA. 2Department of Chemistry, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois 60208, USA. *e-mail: [email protected] KEYWORDS: molybdenum disulfide, transition metal dichalcogenide, 1/f noise, generation- recombination noise, Hooge parameter, nanoelectronics ABSTRACT: Ubiquitous low frequency 1/f noise can be a limiting factor in the performance and application of nanoscale devices. Here, we quantitatively investigate low frequency electronic noise in single-layer transition metal dichalcogenide MoS2 field-effect transistors. The measured 1/f noise can be explained by an empirical formulation of mobility fluctuations with the Hooge parameter ranging between 0.005 and 2.0 in vacuum (< 10-5 Torr). The field-effect 1 mobility decreased and the noise amplitude increased by an order of magnitude in ambient conditions, revealing the significant influence of atmospheric adsorbates on charge transport. In addition, single Lorentzian generation-recombination noise was observed to increase by an order of magnitude as the devices were cooled from 300 K to 6.5 K. TEXT: Recently, ultrathin films of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have attracted significant attention due to their unique electrical and optical properties.1-4 In particular, single- 5-7 8, 9 layer MoS2 is being heavily explored for low-power digital electronics, light detection and emission,10 valley-polarization,4 and chemical sensing applications.11 However, inherent low frequency electronic noise (i.e., 1/f noise or flicker noise) could limit the ultimate performance of MoS2 for these applications.

Leaping from lab to marketplace Journal experience for undergrads Overcoming (organ) rejection The media circus comes to town hey call us “Nano U.” No wonder when close to 200 faculty members are involved in the Tstudy of nanotechnology in some way. Northwestern researchers have been pushing forward the frontiers of nano-knowledge since before the turn of the 21st century. In this issue of CenterPiece, we’ve collected articles about a number of these research pioneers and the new knowledge they’re creating in "elds including biomedicine, materials research, and business. And to reassure you that there’s a lot more to Northwestern research than nanotechnology, we’ve also covered exciting historical and medical research projects in this issue.
