Ambient effects on electrical characteristics of CVD-grown monolayer MoS2 field-effect transistors

Abstract Monolayer materials are sensitive to their environment because all of the atoms are at their surface. We investigate how exposure to the environment affects the electrical properties of CVD-grown monolayer MoS2 by monitoring electrical parameters of MoS2 field-effect transistors as their en...
