Graphene's success has shown that it is possible to create stable, single and few-atom-thick
layers of van der Waals materials, and also that these materials can exhibit fascinating and …

Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals semiconductors represent the thinnest, air stable
semiconducting materials known. Their unique optical, electronic and mechanical properties …

With advances in exfoliation and synthetic techniques, atomically thin films of
semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides have recently been isolated and …

We investigate the origin of the hysteresis observed in the transfer characteristics of back-
gated field-effect transistors with an exfoliated MoS 2 channel. We find that the hysteresis is …

Layered transition metal dichalcogenides display a wide range of attractive physical and
