Optical Characterization of the Structural Imperfection of Two-Dimensional MoS2 Crystallites

Resumo

Two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide crystallites grown by mechanical exfoliation and chemical vapor deposition have been studied. It is shown that both methods can be used to obtain individual crystallites with a monoatomic thickness and similar optical properties. It is found that crystallites grown by chemical vapor deposition have a higher defect concentration than those grown by mechanical exfoliation.
