What is it about?

We show that pulsed laser deposition can be used to produce 2-dimensional material Molybdenum disulfide on a gold substrate with good quality over large areas. We report different strategies showing how to reach complete coverage of the gold substrate starting from nanosized crystals.

Why is it important?

Producing 2-dimensional material Molybdenum disulfide on gold or silver by a scalable technique can be appealing for optoelectronic applications. The technique also ensures a high crystalline quality of the produced material.

Perspectives

This work has been entirely conducted at NanoLab at Politecnico di Milano. We have a system for production of materials and in situ microscopy able to reach atomic resolution. The very nice images we got encouraged us to proceed with the work. Thanks to these results we received proposals to collaborate from some groups interested in out technique.
