Using high-resolution electron microscopy imaging, the atomic structure and morphology of the grains and their boundaries in the polycrystalline molybdenum disulphide atomic layers are examined ...

Our theoretical studies indicate that the 1D ionic crystals have optical properties distinct from those of their bulk counterparts and that the properties can be engineered by introducing atomic ...

The atomic observations were done using real-time transmission electron microscopy. Surprisingly, even though MoS2 is a brittle material, the team saw atom dislocations 3-5 nanometers (nm ...

The structure of molybdenum disulfide is a single-atomic layer of molybdenum sandwiched between single-atomic layers of sulfide and "doped" with a chemical compound called 1,2 dichloroethane (DCE).

In their work, the researchers have chosen to use a well-known catalytic nanoparticle material, namely molybdenum disulfide. Since the atomic structure of the material is well-known, it provided a ...

This process is required because MoS 2 's crystalline structure makes the material piezoelectric only in certain orientations. It is also highly polar, meaning that an odd number of atomic layers ...
