Layer Number and Stacking Engineering of MoS2 Crystals for High-Performance Polarization-Sensitive Photodetector

The layer and stacking engineering of two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) gives rise to novel phenomena and multiapplications; thus, TMDs have garnered considerable attention. However, the precisely customized fabrication of stacked 2D materials to date is largely limited to the lack of effective and controllable growth strategies, prone to the unpredictable stacking orders and randomly distributed nucleation sites. Here, we devise an optimized chemical vapor deposition approach for modulating the MoS
