“…[3,7] This is ideal to directly integrate PtSe 2 into devices, such as piezoresistive sensors, [1,15,16] photonic circuits, [17][18][19] and memristors. [20] There are still challenges in consistently growing high-quality PtSe 2 films, such as controlling homogeneity, [6,7] layer orientation, [8] continuity, [6,21] and layer thickness. [5,7,22,23] Often, the resulting films are polycrystalline with fused, nanoflake-like domains between 10 and 50 nm and thicknesses between 6 and 8.5 nm.…”
