Advance in twisted transition metal dichalcogenides: synthesis, characterization, and properties
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The twist angle regulation strategy provides a feasible tool for studying the emerging properties of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). For the twisted TMDCs (t-TMDCs), there is the lattice mismatch and twist between layers, thus forming moiré superlattice. The formation of moiré superlattice brings about innovative properties to the t-TMDCs. These innovative properties have attracted more and more attention from researchers. This review firstly focuses on the synthesis methods of t-TMDCs, as well as the merits and shortcomings of each method. Secondly, the common spectral characterization and microscopic characterization methods are discussed. Thirdly, the prominent properties of t-TMDCs are briefly demonstrated, including ferroelectricity, flat band, and interlaminar excitons. Finally, we look forward to the potential application prospect and research direction of t-TMDCs.
