An integrated Earth system analysis is applied to project the probability of sequential hazards from tropical cyclones along the US East and Gulf coasts. Even a moderate-emissions scenario increases the chances of back-to-back tropical cyclone hazards and, possibly, two extreme tropical cyclone events impacting the United States within a short period of time.

Abstract The use of metal and semimetal van der Waals contacts for 2D semiconducting devices has led to remarkable device optimizations. In comparison with conventional thin-film metal deposition, a reduction in Fermi level pinning at the contact interface for van der Waals contacts results in, generally, lower contact resistances and higher mobilities. Van der Waals contacts also lead to Schottky barriers that follow the Schottky–Mott rule, allowing barrier estimates on material properties alone. In this study, we present a double Schottky barrier model and apply it to a barrier tunable all van der Waals transistor. In a molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) transistor with graphene and few-layer graphene contacts, we find that the model can be applied to extract Schottky barrier heights that agree with the Schottky–Mott rule from simple two-terminal current–voltage measurements at room temperature. Furthermore, we show tunability of the Schottky barrierin-situusing a regional contact gate. Our results highlight the utility of a basic back-to-back diode model in extracting device characteristics in all van der Waals transistors.more » « less
