Designing artificial two-dimensional landscapes via atomic-layer substitution

Abstract

Manipulating materials with atomic-scale precision is essential for the development of a next-generation material design toolbox. Tremendous efforts have been made to advance the compositional, structural, and spatial accuracy of material deposition and patterning. Here, we presented a new reaction pathway to implement the conversions of two-dimensional materials within the atomic-layer thickness at room temperature for electrical dipole manipulation. Not only could various Janus monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides with vertical dipole be realized, but also some heterostructures, including the dipole-nondipole heterostructures (MoS 2 -MoSSe) and multiheterostructures (MoS 2 -MoSSe-MoSeS-MoSe 2 ) within the same monolayer host structure are developed, in which the dipoles can be selectively patterned to be zero (MoS 2 , MoSe 2 ), positive (MoSSe), and negative (MoSeS).
