Abstract Two‐dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (2D TMDCs) have gained significant attention from the scientific community due to their exceptional properties. Recently, metal‐assisted exfoliation technique has emerged as a promising method for producing large‐area, high‐quality 2D monolayers. However, achieving strong adhesion between foil and substrate during process remains major challenge, preventing successful exfoliation. To overcome this issue, study explores application of...
Abstract The opto‐electronic properties of semiconducting 2D materials can be flexibly manipulated by engineering the atomic‐scale environment. This done including in tailored van der Waals (vdW) stacks, whose optical response is a function number and type adjacent layers. work reports systematic investigation dielectric WS 2 various stacking configurations: monolayer, 3R/2H homobilayer, /MoS heterobilayer. Reliable, Kramers–Kronig‐consistent functions are obtained for each configuration...
Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), sometimes referred to as white graphene, receives growing interest in the scientific community, especially when combined into van der Waals (vdW) homo- and heterostacks, which novel interesting phenomena may arise. hBN is also commonly used combination with two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). The realization of hBN-encapsulated TMDC heterostacks can indeed offer opportunities investigate compare excitonic properties...
The coupling of nanostructures with emerging 2D semiconductors is gaining significant interest thanks to the unique features these hybrids systems, which make them key platforms for next‐generation applications in electronics, optoelectronics, and sensing. Top‐down lithographic approaches uniquely enable fully deterministic high‐resolution fabrication nanostructures, but some them, like electron‐beam lithography focused ion‐beam lithography, employ energetic particles that may damage...
Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (2D TMDCs) have gained significant attention from the scientific community due to their exceptional properties, making them extremely attractive for optoelectronic and photonic applications. However, many exfoliation or synthesis techniques yield 2D crystals with limited crystalline quality and/or small lateral size. Here, we report a facile Au-assisted method, yielding high-quality, large-area monolayers sizes of hundreds micrometers. A...
