Opportunities of Semiconducting Oxide Nanostructures as Advanced Luminescent Materials in Photonics
The review discusses the challenges of wide and ultrawide bandgap semiconducting oxides as a suitable material platform for photonics. They offer great versatility in terms of tuning microstructure, native defects, doping, anisotropy, and micro‐ and nano‐structuring. The review focuses on their light emission, light‐confinement in optical cavities, and

Enhancement‐mode monolayer MoS2 FETs with low threshold voltage are essential for low‐power electronics. The threshold voltage can be tuned by the gate metal work function when the semiconductor/dielectric interface is clean. Interfaces between monolayer MoS2 and ZrO2 or hBN allow effective work‐function modulation of the threshold voltage, in contrast
