Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), especially MoS2 and WS2 recently attract extensive attentions due to their rich physics and great potential applications. Superior to graphene, MS2 (M = Mo/W) monolayers have a native direct energy gap in visible frequency range. This promises great future of MS2 for optoelectronics. To exploit properties and further develop more applications, producing large-scale single crystals of MS2 by a facile method is highly demanded. Here, we report the synthesis of large-scale triangular single crystals of WS2 monolayer from a chemical vapor deposition process and systematic optical studies of such WS2 monolayers. The observations of high yield of light emission and valley-selective circular dichroism experimentally evidence the high optical quality of the WS2 monolayers. This work paves the road to fabricate large-scale single crystalline 2D semiconductors and study their fundamentals. It must be very meaningful for exploiting great potentials of WS2 for future optoelectronics.

Great achievements have been made in alloying of two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), which can allow tunable band gaps for practical applications in optoelectronic devices. However, telluride-based TMDs alloys
were less studied due to the difficulties of sample synthesis. Here, in this work we report the large-area synthesis of 2D MoTexSe2-x alloy films with controllable Te composition by a modified alkali metal halides assisted chemical vapor deposition method. The as-prepared films have millimeter-scale transverse size. Raman spectra experiments combining calculated Raman spectra and vibrational images obtained by density functional theory (DFT) confirmed the 2H-phase of the MoTexSe2-x alloys. The A1g mode of MoSe2 shows a significant downshift accompanied by asymmetric broadening to lower wavenumber with increasing value of x, while E12g mode seems unchanged, which were well explained by a phonon confinement model. Our work provides a simple method to synthesize large-scale 2H phase Te-based 2D TMDs alloys for their further applications.
Palladium diselenide (PdSe$_2$), a new type of two-dimensional noble metal dihalides (NMDCs), has received widespread attention for its excellent electrical and optoelectronic properties. Herein, high-quality continuous centimeter-scale PdSe$_2$ film
s with layers in the range of 3L-15L were grown using Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) method. The absorption spectra and DFT calculations revealed that the bandgap of the PdSe$_2$ films decreased with increasing number of layers, which is due to PdSe$_2$ enhancement of orbital hybridization. Spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) analysis shows that PdSe2 has significant layer-dependent optical and dielectric properties. This is mainly due to the unique strong exciton effect of the thin PdSe$_2$ film in the UV band. In particular, the effect of temperature on the optical properties of PdSe$_2$ films was also observed, and the thermo-optical coefficients of PdSe$_2$ films with different number of layers were calculated. This study provides fundamental guidance for the fabrication and optimization of PdSe$_2$-based optoelectronic devices.
Rhombohedral-stacked few-layer graphene (FLG) has been receiving an ever-increasing attention owing to its peculiar electronic properties that could lead to enticing phenomena such as superconductivity and magnetic ordering. Up to now, experimental s
tudies on such material have been mainly limited by the difficulty in isolating it in thickness exceeding 3 atomic layers with device-compatible size. In this work, rhombohedral graphene with thickness up to 9 layers and areas up to ~50 micrometers square is grown via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on suspended Cu foils and transferred onto target substrates via etch-free delamination. The domains of rhombohedral FLG are identified by Raman spectroscopy and are found to alternate with domains of Bernal-stacked FLG within the same crystal in a stripe-like configuration. A combined analysis of micro-Raman mapping, atomic force microscopy and optical microscopy indicates that the formation of rhombohedral-stacked FLG is strongly correlated to the copper substrate morphology. Cu step bunching results in bending of FLG and interlayer displacement along preferential crystallographic orientations, as determined experimentally by electron microscopy, thus inducing the stripe-like domains. The growth and transfer of rhombohedral FLG with the reported thickness and size shall facilitate the observation of predicted unconventional physics and ultimately add to its technological relevance.
The usage of molten salts, e.g., Na2MoO4 and Na2WO4, has shown great success in the growth of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). In comparison with the halide salt (i.e., NaCl, NaBr, KI)-
assisted growth (Salt 1.0), the molten salt-assisted vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth technique (Salt 2.0) has improved the reproducibility, efficiency and scalability of synthesizing 2D TMDCs. However, the growth of large-area MoSe2 and WTe2 is still quite challenging with the use Salt 2.0 technique. In this study, a renewed Salt 2.0 technique using mixed salts (e.g., Na2MoO4-Na2SeO3 and Na2WO4-Na2TeO3) is developed for the enhanced CVD growth of 2D MoSe2 and WTe2 crystals with large grain size and yield. Continuous monolayer MoSe2 film with grain size of 100-250 {mu}m or isolated flakes up to ~ 450 {mu}m is grown on a halved 2-inch SiO2/Si wafer. Our study further confirms the synergistic effect of Na+ and SeO32- in the enhanced CVD growth of wafer-scale monolayer MoSe2 film. And thus, the addition of Na2SeO3 and Na2TeO3 into the transition metal salts could be a general strategy for the enhanced CVD growth of many other 2D selenides and tellurides.
Recently, monolayer SnS, a two-dimensional group IV monochalcogenide, was grown on a mica substrate at the micrometer-size scale by the simple physical vapor deposition (PVD), resulting in the successful demonstration of its in-plane room temperature
ferroelectricity. However, the reason behind the monolayer growth remains unclear because it had been considered that the SnS growth inevitably results in a multilayer thickness due to the strong interlayer interaction arising from lone pair electrons. Here, we investigate the PVD growth of monolayer SnS from two different feed powders, highly purified SnS and commercial phase-impure SnS. Contrary to expectations, it is suggested that the mica substrate surface is modified by sulfur evaporated from the Sn2S3 contaminant in the as-purchased powder and the lateral growth of monolayer SnS is facilitated due to the enhanced surface diffusion of SnS precursor molecules, unlike the growth from the highly purified powder. This insight provides a guide to identify further controllable growth conditions.
