(a) Structure of a hexagonal TMD monolayer. M atoms are in black and X atoms are in yellow. (b) A hexagonal TMD monolayer seen from above. Transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD or TMDC) monolayers are atomically thin semiconductors of the type MX 2, with M a transition-metal atom (Mo, W, etc.) and X a chalcogen atom (S, Se, or Te).
MoS 2, the most common metal dichalcogenide, adopts a layered structure. Metal dichalcogenides have the formula ME 2, where M = a transition metal and E = S, Se, Te. [7] The most important members are the sulfides. They are always dark diamagnetic solids, insoluble in all solvents, and exhibit semiconducting properties. Some are superconductors ...
Compounds of this category are known as transition metal dichalcogenides, abbreviated TMDCs. These compounds, as the name suggests, are made up of a transition metals and elements of group 16 on the periodic table of the elements. Compared to MoS 2, MoSe 2 exhibits higher electrical conductivity. [7]
During annealing, self-assembly of the amorphous precursors takes place, resulting in crystallization within the layer plane. This non-epitaxial growth method leads to the formation of abrupt interfaces and in-plane crystallinity and enables nearly arbitrary stacking sequences of transition metal dichalcogenides and metal mono chalcogenides. [1 ...
The oxidation of other semiconductor transition metal dichalcogenides (S-TMDs) such as MoS 2, has similarly been observed to occur in ambient light and atmospheric conditions. [9] WS 2 is also attacked by a mixture of nitric and hydrofluoric acid. When heated in oxygen-containing atmosphere, WS 2 converts to tungsten trioxide.
Niobium diselenide or niobium(IV) selenide is a layered transition metal dichalcogenide with formula NbSe 2.Niobium diselenide is a lubricant, and a superconductor at temperatures below 7.2 K that exhibit a charge density wave (CDW).
A Mott transition is a metal-insulator transition in condensed matter. Due to electric field screening the potential energy becomes much more sharply (exponentially) peaked around the equilibrium position of the atom and electrons become localized and can no longer conduct a current. It is named after physicist Nevill Francis Mott.
One of the largest and most diverse uses of the intercalation process by the early 2020s is in lithium-ion electrochemical energy storage, in the batteries used in many handheld electronic devices, mobility devices, electric vehicles, and utility-scale battery electric storage stations.
