Together with the development of two-dimensional (2D) materials, transition metal
dichalcogenides (TMDs) have become one of the most popular series of model materials for …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials are attracting a lot of attention because of
unique physicochemical properties that are intriguing for both fundamental research and …

On the basis of electron–electron self-energy corrections, quasiparticle band structures of
Janus MoSSe and WSSe are identified, and the excitonic effects are demonstrated to play a …

This multi-contributor handbook discusses Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE), an epitaxial
deposition technique which involves laying down layers of materials with atomic thicknesses …

Layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are a diverse group of materials whose
properties vary from semiconducting to metallic with a variety of many body phenomena …

Semiconductors in all dimensionalities ranging from 0D quantum dots and molecules to 3D
bulk crystals support bound electron–hole pair quasiparticles termed excitons. Over the past …

An overview of recent developments in controlled vapor‐phase growth of 2D transition metal
dichalcogenide (2D TMD) films is presented. Investigations of thin‐film formation …

In atomically thin van der Waals materials, grain boundaries—the line defects between
adjacent crystal grains with tilted in-plane rotations—are omnipresent. When the tilting …

Unraveling structure–activity relationships is a key objective of catalysis. Unfortunately, the
intrinsic complexity and structural heterogeneity of materials stand in the way of this goal …

Edges and point defects in layered dichalcogenides are important for tuning their electronic
