The paper \u201cImaging junctions in two-dimensional semiconductor nanosheet networks\u201d has just been published in npj 2D Materials & Applications<\/em>. The research was led at the Institute of Physics Belgrade<\/a> (IPB) by Dr. Jelena Pe\u0161i\u0107, a member of the HIP-2D-QM team supported through Horizon Europe, together with collaborators from Montanuniversit\u00e4t Leoben<\/a> (Austria), Trinity College Dublin<\/a> (Ireland), and Universidade NOVA de Lisboa<\/a> (Portugal).<\/p>\n

Instead of focusing only on morphology or conventional microscopy, this study addresses one of the biggest open questions for scalable 2D electronics: how does charge actually travel through solution-processed 2D material films in real devices?<\/em><\/p>\n

To answer this, it used in-operando Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) to directly visualize potential drops across individual MoS\u2082 nanosheets,\u00a0 and crucially - heir junctions inside functioning transistor structures. By combining these measurements with Y-function analysis and network modelling, the researchers showed that junctions between nanosheets dominate overall resistance and play a key role in shaping device performance.<\/p>\n

These insights strongly support the vision of the HIP-2D-QM Horizon Europe project, which aims to develop advanced quantum and functional materials, including scalable 2D systems for future technologies.<\/p>\n
