The Intricate Love Affairs between MoS2 and Metallic Substrates

Mechanical exfoliation of MoS2 on a range of metallic substrates reveals that the ability to produce macroscale monolayer crystals is unique to gold and is not reproduced for any other metal. This is rooted in gold's ability to resist oxidation and large interfacial strain of the Au–MoS2 heterostructure, both of which facilitate the preferential monolayer...
