Atomic-Scale Dynamic Mechanisms of Embedded MoS2 Wires

Nanowires composed of a 1:1 stoichiometry of transition metals and chalcogen ions can be fabricated from two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) by using electron beam irradiation. Wires fabricated through in situ experiments can be geometrically connected to TMD sheets in various ways, and their physical properties can vary accordingly. Understanding the structural transformation caused by electron beams is critical for designing wire-sheet structures for nanoelectronics. In this study, we report the behavior of nanowires formed inside a monolayer MoS
