We report on the various types of Peierls like two dimensional structural modulations and relative phase stability of 2H and 1T poly-types in MoS2-ReS2 and WS2-ReS2 alloy system. Theoretical calculation predicts a polytype phase transition cross over at ~50 at.% of Mo and W in ReS2 in both monolayer and bulk form, respectively. Experimentally, two different types of structural modulations at 50% and a modulation corresponding to trimerization at 75% alloy composition is observed for MoS2-ReS2 and only one type of modulation is observed at 50% WS2-ReS2 alloy system. The 50% alloy system is found to be a suitable monolithic candidate for metal semiconductor transition with minute external perturbation. ReS2 is known to be in 2D Peierls distorted 1Td structure and forms a chain like superstructure. Incorporation of Mo and W atoms in the ReS2 lattice modifies the metal-metal hybridization between the cations and influences the structural modulation and electronic property of the system. The results offer yet another effective way to tune the electronic structure and poly-type phases of this class of materials other than intercalation, strain, and vertical stacking arrangement.

We report a determination of the complex in-plane dielectric function of monolayers of four transition metal dichalcogenides: MoS2, MoSe2, WS2 and WSe2, for photon energies from 1.5 - 3 eV. The results were obtained from reflection spectra using a Kr amers-Kronig constrained variational analysis. From the dielectric functions, we obtain the absolute absorbance of the monolayers. We also provide a comparison of the dielectric function for the monolayers with the corresponding bulk materials.
Topological superconductors (TSCs) are unconventional superconductors with bulk superconducting gap and in-gap Majorana states on the boundary that may be used as topological qubits for quantum computation. Despite their importance in both fundamenta l research and applications, natural TSCs are very rare. Here, combining state of the art synchrotron and laser-based angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we investigated a stoichiometric transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD), 2M-WS2 with a superconducting transition temperature of 8.8 K (the highest among all TMDs in the natural form up to date) and observed distinctive topological surface states (TSSs). Furthermore, in the superconducting state, we found that the TSSs acquired a nodeless superconducting gap with similar magnitude as that of the bulk states. These discoveries not only evidence 2M-WS2 as an intrinsic TSC without the need of sensitive composition tuning or sophisticated heterostructures fabrication, but also provide an ideal platform for device applications thanks to its van der Waals layered structure.
Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are important class of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials for electronic and optoelectronic applications, due to their ultimate body thickness, sizable and tunable bandgap, and decent theoretical room-temp erature mobility of hundreds to thousands cm2/Vs. So far, however, all TMDCs show much lower mobility experimentally because of the collective effects by foreign impurities, which has become one of the most important limitations for their device applications. Here, taking MoS2 as an example, we review the key factors that bring down the mobility in TMDC transistors, including phonons, charged impurities, defects, and charge traps. We introduce a theoretical model that quantitatively captures the scaling of mobility with temperature, carrier density and thickness. By fitting the available mobility data from literature over the past few years, we are able to obtain the density of impurities and traps for a wide range of transistor structures. We show that interface engineering such as oxide surface passivation, high-k dielectrics and BN encapsulation could effectively reduce the impurities, leading to improved device performances. For few-layer TMDCs, we analytically model the lopsided carrier distribution to elucidate the experimental increase of mobility with the number of layers. From our analysis, it is clear that the charge transport in TMDC samples is a very complex problem that must be handled carefully. We hope that this Review can provide new insights and serve as a starting point for further improving the performance of TMDC transistors.

The formation of interfacial moire patterns from angular and/or lattice mismatch has become a powerful approach to engineer a range of quantum phenomena in van der Waals heterostructures. For long-lived and valley-polarized interlayer excitons in tra nsition-metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) heterobilayers, signatures of quantum confinement by the moire landscape have been reported in recent experimental studies. Such moire confinement has offered the exciting possibility to tailor new excitonic systems, such as ordered arrays of zero-dimensional (0D) quantum emitters and their coupling into topological superlattices. A remarkable nature of the moire potential is its dramatic response to strain, where a small uniaxial strain can tune the array of quantum-dot-like 0D traps into parallel stripes of one-dimensional (1D) quantum wires. Here, we present direct evidence for the 1D moire potentials from real space imaging and the corresponding 1D moire excitons from photoluminescence (PL) emission in MoSe2/WSe2 heterobilayers. Whereas the 0D moire excitons display quantum emitter-like sharp PL peaks with circular polarization, the PL emission from 1D moire excitons has linear polarization and two orders of magnitude higher intensity. The results presented here establish strain engineering as a powerful new method to tailor moire potentials as well as their optical and electronic responses on demand.
Strain in two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) has led to localized states with exciting optical properties, in particular in view of designing one photon sources. The naturally formed of the MoS2 monolayer deposed on hBN substr ate leads to a reduction of the bandgap in the strained region creating a nanobubble. The photogenerated particles are thus confined in the strain-induced potential. Using numerical diagonalization, we simulate the spectra of the confined exciton states, their oscillator strengths and radiative lifetimes. We show that a single state of the confined exciton is optically active, which suggests that the MoS2/hBN nanobubble is a good candidate for the realisation of single-photon sources. Furthermore, the exciton binding energy, oscillator strength and radiative lifetime are enhanced due to the confinement effect.
