A trigonal phase existing only as small patches on chemically exfoliated few layer, thermodynamically stable 1H phase of MoS2 is believed to influence critically properties of MoS2 based devices. This phase has been most often attributed to…
Chemical exfoliation of MoS$_2$ via Li-intercalation route has led to many desirable properties and spectacular applications due to the presence of a metastable state in addition to the stable H phase. However, the nature of the specific…
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is a highly attractive 2D material due to its interesting electronic properties. Recent experimental advances confirm the possibility of further tuning the electronic properties of MoS2 through the fabrication of…
Using first-principles density functional theory calculations, we investigate the structure, stability, optical modes and electronic band gap of a distorted tetragonal MoS$_2$ monolayer (T'-MoS$_2$). Our simulated scanning tunnel microscopy…
Innovative applications based on two-dimensional solids require cost-effective fabrication processes resulting in large areas of high quality materials. Chemical vapour deposition is among the most promising methods to fulfill these…
The metastable 1$T'$ phase of layered transition metal dichalcogenides has recently attracted considerable interest due to electronic properties, possible topological electronic phases and catalytic activity. We report a comprehensive…
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) of single and few-layer thickness was exfoliated on SiO2/Si substrate and characterized by Raman spectroscopy. The number of S-Mo-S layers of the samples was independently determined by contact-mode atomic-force…
Monolithic realization of metallic 1T and semiconducting 2H polymorphic phases makes MoS2 a potential candidate for future microelectronic circuits. Though co-existence of these phases has been reported, a method for engineering a stable 1T…
In this work, we report an ab initio investigation based on density functional theory of the structural, energetic and electronic properties of 2D layered chalcogenides compounds based in the combination of the transition-metals (Ti, Zr,…
MoS_2 in its two-dimensional (2D) form is known to exhibit many fundamentally interesting and technologically important properties. One of the most popular routes to form extensive amount of such 2D samples is the chemical exfoliation…
Semiconducting monolayer of 2D material are able to concatenate multiple interesting properties into a single component. Here, by combining opto-mechanical and electronic measurements, we demonstrate the presence of a partial 2H-1T phase…
Structural transformation between metallic (1T) and semiconducting (2H) phases of single-layered MoS2 was systematically investigated by an in situ STEM with atomic precision. The 1T/2H phase transition is comprised of S and/or Mo…
In this study, we compare the performance of two phases of MoS$_2$ monolayers: 1T' and 2H, about their ability to adsorb lithium and sodium ions. Employing the density functional theory and molecular dynamics, we include the ion…
Polymorphic phases and collective phenomena - such as charge density waves (CDWs) - in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) dictate the physical and electronic properties of the material. Most TMDs naturally occur in a single given…
Correlated electrons in transition metal oxides (TMOs) exhibit a variety of emergent phases. When TMOs are confined to a single-atomic-layer thickness, experiments so far have shown that they usually lose diverse properties and become…
We review vibrational and electronic properties of single and a few layer MoS$_2$ relevant to understand their resonant and non-resonant Raman scattering results. In particular, the optical modes and low frequency shear and layer breathing…
Isolation and characterization of mechanically exfoliated black phosphorus flakes with a thickness down to two single-layers is presented. A modification of the mechanical exfoliation method, which provides higher yield of atomically thin…
Synthetic materials and heterostructures obtained by the controlled stacking of exfoliated monolayers are emerging as attractive functional materials owing to their highly tunable properties. We present a detailed scanning tunneling…
Hydrovoltaic power generation from liquid water and ambient moisture has attracted considerable research efforts. However, there is still limited consensus on the optimal material properties required to maximize the power output. Here, we…
2H MoS2 has been intensively studied because of layer-dependent electronic structures and novel physical properties. Though the metastable 1T MoS2 with the [MoS6] octahedron was observed from the microscopic area, the true crystal structure…
