Atomic rearrangement of a sputtered MoS2 film from amorphous to a 2D layered structure by electron beam irradiation
Abstract We synthesised a crystalline MoS2 film from as-sputtered amorphous film by applying an electron beam irradiation (EBI) process. A collimated electron beam (60 mm dia.) with an energy of 1 kV was irradiated for only 1 min to achieve crystallisation without an additional heating process. Afte...
