2D Materials: Large‐Area and High‐Quality 2D Transition Metal Telluride (Adv. Mater. 3/2017). Issue 3 (January 2017) - Zhou, Jiadong
Abstract : Two‐dimensional tellurides are promising for 2D topological insulators and type‐II Weyl semimetals. In article 1603471, J. Lin, G. Liu, Z. Liu, and co‐workers report the large‐scale growth of large‐size and high‐quality atomically layered MoTe2 and WTe2, using a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. STEM imaging identifies the atomic structures of WTe2 and MoTe2 . Electric‐transport measurements reveal the semimetal‐to‐insulator transition in WTe2 and superconductivity in MoTe2 .
