In the current extensive studies of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), compared to hexagonal layered materials, like graphene, hBN and MoS2, low symmetry layered 2D crystals showed great potential for applications in anisotropic devices. Rhenium diselenide (ReSe2) has the bulk space group P1 and belongs to triclinic crystal system with a deformed cadmium iodide type structure. Here we unambiguously determined monolayer and its vertical orientation of rhenium diselenide membrane with an individual electron diffraction pattern, which could be applicable to low symmetry crystal systems, including both triclinic and monoclinic lattices, as long as their third unit-cell basis vector is not perpendicular to basal plane. Atomically resolved image from probe corrected annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscope (ADF-STEM) was employed to validate layer number. Finally, experimental results were well explained by kinematical electron diffraction theory and corresponding simulations.
The scope of magnetic neutron scattering has been expanded by the observation of electronic Dirac dipoles (anapoles) that are polar (parity-odd) and magnetic (time-odd). A zero-magnetization ferromagnet Sm0.976Gd0.024Al2 with a diamond-type structure
Monolayer phosphorene provides a unique two-dimensional (2D) platform to investigate the fundamental many-body interactions. However, owing to its high instability, unambiguous identification of monolayer phosphorene has been elusive. Consequently, m
Recently, two-dimensional (2D) materials with strong in-plane anisotropic properties such as black phosphorus have demonstrated great potential for developing new devices that can take advantage of its reduced lattice symmetry with potential applicat
The increasing scientific and technological interest in nanoparticles has raised the need for fast, efficient and precise characterization techniques. Powder diffraction is a very efficient experimental method, as it is straightforward and non-destru
A recent polarized neutron diffraction experiment on the 5d2 rhenium double perovskite Ba2YReO6 held at a low temperature uncovered weak magnetic diffraction peaks. Data analysis inferred a significantly reduced Re dipole moment, and long-range order
