Structural defects in a nanomesh of bulk MoS2 using an anodic aluminum oxide template for photoluminescence efficiency enhancement

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) materials beyond graphene have attracted considerable interest because of the zero bandgap drawbacks of graphene. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), such as MoS2 and WSe2, are the potential candidates for next 2D materials because atomically thin layers of TMDs ex...
