Here, we report the first demonstration of atomically thin vertically stacked MoS2/WS2 heterostructures, achieved via a two-step chemical vapour deposition (CVD) growth process. Highly ordered stacking of heterostructure domains and patterned defects have been observed. Computations based on first principles have been performed to understand observed enhanced photoluminescence of the heterostructure.
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.
