of ∼60 kΩ·μm. The weaker performance of 1L devices is due to their sensitivity to processing and ambient. Our results suggest that 2L (or few layers) is preferable to 1L for improved electronic properties in applications that do not require a direct band gap, which is a key finding for future two-dimensional electroni…

Tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) in ångström-scale plasmonic cavities has drawn increasing attention. However, Raman scattering at vanishing cavity distances remains unexplored. Here, we show the evolution of TERS in transition from the tunneling regime to atomic point contact (APC). A stable APC is reversibly for…
