The electronic structure of an atomic-layer-deposited MoS2 monolayer on SiO2 was investigated using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and synchrotron X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The angle-dependent evolution of the XAS spectra…
The interlayer bonding in two dimensional materials is particularly important because it is not only related to their physical and chemical stability but also affects their mechanical, thermal, electronic, optical, and other properties. To…
The environment contributes to the screening of Coulomb interactions in two-dimensional semiconductors. This can potentially be exploited to tailor material properties as well as for sensing applications. Here, we investigate the tuning of…
