The growth of atomically thin MoS2 films is achieved by sulfurization of molybdenum oxide precursor films grown by atomic layer deposition. The quality features of the MoS2 films are engineered controlling the stoichiometry, morphology, and thickness of the precursors. The interface interaction between the precursor films and the substrates (SiO2 or sapphire) plays a key role in the MoS2 formation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
