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. Here we present atomically thin rhenium disulfide (ReS 2 ) flakes with unique distorted 1T structure, in-plane properties. We fabricated monolayer few-layer ReS field-effect...

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.

In search of high-performance field-effect transistors (FETs) made atomic thin semiconductors, indium selenide (InSe) has held great promise because its high intrinsic mobility and moderate electronic band gap (1.26 eV). Yet the performance InSe FETs is decisively determined by surface oxidation taking place spontaneously in ambient conditions, setting up a ceiling causing an uncontrollable current hysteresis.
