  • We discover a method of synthesizing wafer-scale single-crystal (SC) hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) monolayer film. In contrary to traditional epitaxial growth, liquid gold substrate allows the self-collimation of circular hBN grains, eventually forming an SC hBN film on a wafer scale. SC hBN serves the growth template for SC-Graphene/hBN heterostructure and SC tungsten disulfide. This is the first…

  • 2D material properties, including electronic and optical properties, can be adjusted through alloying. In this work, we dope NbSe2 with W to make a lateral heterostructure with semiconducting WSe2 on the inside and metallic NbSe2 on the outside. The each point of doping level is characterized by STEM (Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy) and well correlated with optical (Raman, Photoluminesc…

Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDs) heterostructure, particularly the lateral heterostructure of two different TMDs, is gaining attention as ultrathin photonic devices based on the charge transfer (CT) excitons generated at the junction. However, the characteristics of the interface of the lateral heterostructure, determining the electronic band structure and alignment at the heterojunction region, have rarely been studied due to the limited spatial resolution of nondestructive analysis systems. In this study, we investigated the confined phonons resulting from the phonon-disorder scattering process involving mul-tiple disorders at the lateral heterostructure interface of MoS2 –WS2 to prove the consequences of disorder-mediated deformation in the band structure. Moreover, we directly observed variations in the metal composition of the multi disordered nanoscale alloy Mo1−x Wx S2 , consisting of atomic vacancies, crystal edges, and distinct nanocrystallites. Our findings through tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) imply that a tens of nanometer area of continuous TMDs
