Abstract Semiconducting two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides are emerging as top candidates for post-silicon electronics. While most of them exhibit isotropic behaviour, lowering the lattice symmetry could induce anisotropic properties, which both scientifically interesting and potentially useful.

Rhenium disulfide (ReS2) and diselenide (ReSe2), the group 7 transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), are known to have a layered atomic structure showing an in-plane motif of diamond-shaped-chains (DS-chains) arranged in parallel. Using combination transmission electron microscopy transport measurements, we demonstrate here direct correlation anisotropy single-layered ReS2 with orientation DS-chains, as also supported by our density functional theory calculations. We further show that...
