Kaiyuan Yao, a graduate student researcher at Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley, monitors spectroscopy equipment at Berkeley Lab's Molecular Foundry. Yao served as the lead author of a study that measured the properties of a 2-D semiconductor material known as moly sulfide.
This image shows a slight “bump” (red arrow) in charted experimental data that reveals the band gap measurement in a 2-D material known as moly sulfide.
