Photoconductivity of acid exfoliated and flash-light-processed MoS2 films

Abstract MoS2 has been studied intensively during recent years as a semiconducting material in several fields, including optoelectronics, for applications such as solar cells and phototransistors. The photoresponse mechanisms of MoS2 have been discussed but are not fully understood, especially the p...
