    Exponentially Selective Molecular Sieving Through Angstrom Pores
    (Nature Publishing Group, 2021) Sun, Pengzhan; Yağmurcukardeş, Mehmet; Zhang, R.; Kuang, Wenjun; Lozada-Hidalgo, Marcelo; Liu, B. L.; Geim, Andre K.
    Two-dimensional crystals with angstrom-scale pores are widely considered as candidates for a next generation of molecular separation technologies aiming to provide extreme, exponentially large selectivity combined with high flow rates. No such pores have been demonstrated experimentally. Here we study gas transport through individual graphene pores created by low intensity exposure to low kV electrons. Helium and hydrogen permeate easily through these pores whereas larger species such as xenon and methane are practically blocked. Permeating gases experience activation barriers that increase quadratically with molecules’ kinetic diameter, and the effective diameter of the created pores is estimated as ∼2 angstroms, about one missing carbon ring. Our work reveals stringent conditions for achieving the long sought-after exponential selectivity using porous two-dimensional membranes and suggests limits on their possible performance.

    Monolayer Aste2: Stable Robust Metal in 2d, 1d and 0d
    (Wiley, 2018) Badalov, S. V.; Kandemir, Ali; Şahin, Hasan
    The structural, phononic, and electronic properties of the monolayer structures of AsTe2 are characterized by performing density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Total energy optimization and phonon calculations reveal that single layers of the 2H-AsTe2 and 1T-AsTe2 phases form dynamically stable crystal structures. Electronic structure analysis also shows that both 2H and 1T phases have nonmagnetic metallic character. It is also predicted that the metallic nature of the ultra-thin both 2H-AsTe2 and 1T-AsTe2 structures remain unchanged even under high biaxial strain values. For further examination of the dimensionality effect in the robust metallicity in 2D AsTe2 phases, electronic characteristics of 1D nanoribbons and 0D quantum dots are also investigated. It is found that independent from the dimension and crystallographic orientations 0D and 1D structures of 2H- and 1T-AsTe2 structures have metallic behavior. It is found that single layers of AsTe2 are quite promising materials for nanodevice applications owing to the robust metallic character.
