Rhenium disulfide (ReS2) is a two dimensional (2D) group VII transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD). It is attributed with structural and vibrational anisotropy, layer independent electrical and optical properties, and metal-free magnetism properties. These properties are unusual compared with more widely used group VI-TMDs e.g. MoS2, MoSe2, WS2 and WSe2. Consequently, it has attracted significant interest in recent years and is now being used for a variety of applications including solid state electronics, catalysis, and, energy harvesting and energy storage. It is anticipated that ReS2 has the potential to be equally used in parallel with isotropic TMDs from group VI for all known applications and beyond.Therefore, a review on ReS2 is very timely. In this first review on ReS2, we critically analyze the available synthesis procedures and their pros-cons, atomic structure and lattice symmetry, crystal structure and growth mechanisms with an insight to the orientation and architecture of domain and grain boundaries, decoupling of structural and vibrational properties, anisotropic electrical, optical and magnetic properties impacted by crystal imperfections, doping and adatoms adsorptions, and the contemporary applications in different areas.

“…However, there exist a small number of materials with strong in-plane structural anisotropy. Some examples of these materials are black phosphorus, 7,13,14 group-V TMDCs (ReS 2 and ReSe 2 ), 11,12 and transition metal trichalcogenides (MX 3 ). [15][16][17][18][19] These materials differ from isotropic layered materials in that each individual layer consists of a superlattice of 1D chains extending along one particular lattice direction.…”

Strong dichroic emission in the pseudo one dimensional material ZrS₃

et al. 2016

a Zirconium trisulphide (ZrS 3 ), a member of the layered transition metal trichalcogenides (TMTCs) family, has been studied by angle-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy (ARPLS). The synthesized ZrS 3 layers possess a pseudo one-dimensional nature where each layer consists of ZrS 3 chains extending along the b-lattice direction. Our results show that the optical properties of few-layered ZrS 3 are highly anisotropic as evidenced by large PL intensity variation with the polarization direction. Light is efficiently absorbed when the E-field is polarized along the chain (b-axis), but the field is greatly attenuated and absorption is reduced when it is polarized vertical to the 1D-like chains as the wavelength of the exciting light is much longer than the width of each 1D chain. The observed PL variation with polarization is similar to that of conventional 1D materials, i.e., nanowires, and nanotubes, except for the fact that here the 1D chains interact with each other giving rise to a unique linear dichroism response that falls between the 2D ( planar) and 1D (chain) limit. These results not only mark the very first demonstration of PL polarization anisotropy in 2D systems, but also provide novel insight into how the interaction between adjacent 1D-like chains and the 2D nature of each layer influences the overall optical anisotropy of pseudo-1D materials. Results are anticipated to have an impact on optical technologies such as polarized detectors, near-field imaging, communication systems, and bio-applications relying on the generation and detection of polarized light.

“…[8,29] It can be seen that b-As displays the maximum anisotropy in electrical conductance (6.4) and carrier mobility (≈28), much higher than that of all other 2D materials, including the isostructural b-P. Similar to b-P, b-As exhibits an opposite anisotropy in electrical and thermal conductivity, namely, the electrical conductivity is higher in the AC direction than ZZ direction, while thermal conductivity behaves the opposite.…”

Black Arsenic: A Layered Semiconductor with Extreme In‐Plane Anisotropy

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract2D layered materials have emerged in recent years as a new platform to host novel electronic, optical, or excitonic physics and develop unprecedented nanoelectronic and energy applications. By definition, these materials are strongly anisotropic between the basal plane and cross the plane. The structural and property anisotropies inside their basal plane, however, are much less investigated. Black phosphorus, for example, is a 2D material that has such in‐plane anisotropy. Here, a rare chemical form of arsenic, called black‐arsenic (b‐As), is reported as a cousin of black phosphorus, as an extremely anisotropic layered semiconductor. Systematic characterization of the structural, electronic, thermal, and electrical properties of b‐As single crystals is performed, with particular focus on its anisotropies along two in‐plane principle axes, armchair (AC) and zigzag (ZZ). The analysis shows that b‐As exhibits higher or comparable electronic, thermal, and electric transport anisotropies between the AC and ZZ directions than any other known 2D crystals. Such extreme in‐plane anisotropies can potentially implement novel ideas for scientific research and device applications.
