In this work, the authors compare surface coverage obtained in initial and intermediate steps of Al2O3 TiO2 atomic layer deposition on MoS2 surfaces prepared by either mechanical exfoliation or chemical vapor (CVD). They find that film is highly dependent origin preparation starting surface. While can be used to quickly obtain few-layer surfaces, these exhibit significant variability quality cleanliness, leading unpredictable growth. Conversely, grown CVD provides a more reliable resulting...
