Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The discovery of graphene signified a new era of two-dimensional (2D) materials research. Two-dimensional semiconductor materials with suitable bandgap have excellent electrical, optical, and mechanical properties, showing great application prospects in the fields of new-generation, high-performance electronic, optoelectronic, and flexible devices. In the past decade, a great deal of research has been devoted to controllable fabrication of 2D semiconductor materials, as well as the construction of various optoelectronic devices. However, the large-scale fabrication of high-quality 2D semiconductor materials and the reliable evaluation of high-performance optoelectronic devices still require further exploration.

This Special Issue, titled “Manufacturing and Applications of 2D Photoelectric Materials and Devices”, will focus on state-of-the-art works in 2D semiconductor materials and advanced optoelectronic devices. It will mainly report on the high-quality, large-scale fabrication of novel 2D semiconductor materials and the construction of advanced optoelectronic devices.

This Special Issue welcomes original papers or reviews on experiments and theoretical simulation, focusing on a variety of novel 2D semiconductor materials (e.g. transition metal sulfides, III-VI materials, single-element semiconductors, perovskite, and metal-organic frameworks, etc.) and optoelectronic devices (e.g. van der Waals heterojunction photodetectors, photoelectrochemical photodetectors, etc.).

In order to promote the development of 2D semiconductor materials and optoelectronic devices, I cordially invite you to contribute to this Special Issue.

This paper reviews recent advancements in all-optical memory components, particularly focusing on various types of all-optical flip-flops (FFs) based on photonic crystal (PC) structures proposed in recent years. PCs, with their unique optical properties and engineered structures, including photonic bandgap control, enhanced light–matter interaction, and compact size, make them especially suitable for optical FFs. The study explores three key materials, silicon, chalcogenide glass, and gallium arsenide, known for their high refractive index contrast, compact size, hybrid integration capability, and easy fabrication processes. Furthermore, these materials exhibit excellent compatibility with different technologies like CMOS and fiber optics, enhancing their versatility in various applications. The structures proposed in the research leverage mechanisms such as waveguides, ring resonators, scattering rods, coupling rods, edge rods, switches, resonant cavities, and multi-mode interference. The paper delves into crucial properties and parameters of all-optical FFs, including response time, contrast ratio, and operating wavelength. Optical FFs possess significant advantages, such as high speed, low power consumption, and potential for integration, making them a promising technology for advancing optical computing and optical memory systems.
