Abstract
We report the fabrication of back-gated field-effect transistors (FETs) using ultra-thin, mechanically exfoliated MoSe2 flakes. The MoSe2 FETs are n-type and possess a high gate modulation, with On/Off ratios larger than 106. The devices show asymmetric characteristics upon swapping the source and drain, a finding explained by the presence of Schottky barriers at the metal contact/MoSe2 interface. Using four-point, back-gated devices, we measure the intrinsic conductivity and mobility of MoSe2 as a function of gate bias, and temperature. Samples with a room temperature mobility of ∼ 50 cm2/V·s show a strong temperature dependence, suggesting phonons are a dominant scattering mechanism.

Temperature dependent phonon shifts in few-layer black phosphorus.

TL;DR: The temperature dependent softening modes of black phosphorus results were explained on the basis of a double resonance process which is more active in an atomically thin sample and can be fundamentally pertinent in other promising and emerging 2D ultrathin layer and heterostructured materials.

Mechanical and thermal properties of h-MX2 (M = Cr, Mo, W; X = O, S, Se, Te) monolayers: A comparative study

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used density functional theory to obtain the mechanical and thermal properties of MX2 monolayers (where M = Cr, Mo, W and X = O, S, Se, Te) and showed that transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) with W (O) atom are stiffer.

Synthesis of Millimeter-Scale Transition Metal Dichalcogenides Single Crystals

TL;DR: In this article, a simple, scalable chemical vapor deposition approach for the growth of MoSe2 layers is reported, in which the nucleation density can be reduced from 105 to 25 nuclei cm-2, leading to millimeter-scale single crystals as well as continuous macrocrystalline films with millimeter size grains.

Electric Field Effect in Atomically Thin Carbon Films

TL;DR: Monocrystalline graphitic films are found to be a two-dimensional semimetal with a tiny overlap between valence and conductance bands and they exhibit a strong ambipolar electric field effect.

Single-layer MoS2 transistors

TL;DR: Because monolayer MoS(2) has a direct bandgap, it can be used to construct interband tunnel FETs, which offer lower power consumption than classical transistors, and could also complement graphene in applications that require thin transparent semiconductors, such as optoelectronics and energy harvesting.

TL;DR: The transition metal dichalcogenides are about 60 in number as discussed by the authors, and two-thirds of these assume layer structures and can be cleaved down to less than 1000 A and are then transparent in the region of direct band-to-band transitions.

Intrinsic and extrinsic performance limits of graphene devices on SiO2.

TL;DR: It is shown that electron-acoustic phonon scattering is indeed independent of n, and contributes only 30 Omega to graphene's room-temperature resistivity, and its magnitude, temperature dependence and carrier-density dependence are consistent with extrinsic scattering by surface phonons at the SiO2 substrate.
