Epitaxial growth of A-A and A-B stacking MoS2 on WS2 via a two-step chemical vapor deposition method is reported. These epitaxial heterostructures show an atomic clean interface and a strong interlayer coupling, as evidenced by systematic characterization. Low-frequency Raman breathing and shear modes are observed in commensurate stacking bilayers for the first time; these can serve as persuasive fingerprints for interfacial quality and stacking configurations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
