MoS2

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Nanoscale Science and Technology ((LNNST,volume 21))

Abstract

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is a transition metal dichalcogenide which has been a subject of intense research mainly due to its catalytic properties. MoS2 is formed by two-dimensional (2D) graphene-like S–Mo–S layers held together by weak noncovalent interactions. Recently, MoS2 has been exfoliated into individual S–M–S monolayers and the electronic and optical properties of a single MoS2 layer have been investigated. It was demonstrated that a single layer MoS2 undergoes indirect to direct band gap transition, which enables a wide range of optoelectronic applications. I will review the electronic structure of exfoliated MoS2 and discuss several ways in which it can be manipulated. I will also review potential applications of exfoliated MoS2 in the exciting new field of valleytronics.
