PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

MoS₂ belongs to a class of layered van der Waals materials known as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Monolayer MoS₂ is the first known monolayer TMD that has prooven to have unique optical and electronic properties, thanks to its large exciton binding energy and direct bandgap.

Our company offers a special type of nanostructured MoS₂ with atomically sharp edges and exclusive zigzag terminations. Zigzag edges are metallic and ferromagnetic, which makes them very different from semiconducting MoS₂ planes. Such zigzag edges are also known for their high catalytic activity in e.g. hydrogen evolution reaction. These unique properties make nanostructured MoS₂ attractive for multiple applications, ranging from structural colors, nanophotonics and optoelectronics to mechanical filters and catalysis.

Our samples are obtained using a patented AtomicEdge technology, which combines reactive ion etching with subsequent anisotropic etching. This allows to produce highly ordered nanostructures of predefined complexity with atomically sharp edges and over areas limited only by the initial MoS₂ flake size (which can be up to a few millimeters).

The excitonic properties of MoS₂ remain as in the unpatterned material just a few nanometers away from the edge. The nanostructured pattern is predefined by the electron beam lithography file, which can be both made by us or provided by a customer.
