Atomic Engineering of Chalcogenide Layer in Transition Metal Chalcogenides
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Atomically thin transition metal chalcogenides (TMDs), members of two-dimensional (2D) material family, have received great attention due to their novel optoelectronic and electronic properties. CVD technique have been well developed to synthesize monolayer TMDs, such as MoS 2 , WS 2 , WSe 2 , and MoSe 2 where transition metals are sandwiched by the same chalcogenide layers 1 . Band gas of those intrinsic materials can be further manipulated by precisely compositional control of TMD alloy structure 2 . For example, band gap of MoS x Se 2-x sat in between MoS 2 and MoSe 2 . Although great effort had paid in fabricating such complex 2D structures had been fabricated, compositional control of TMD along the vertical direction remains challenging. Such asymmetrical composition distribution could result in additional polarity along the vertical direction and extend its application to spintronics 3 . Here, we develop a method that can precisely manipulate arrangement of chalcogenide atoms (S and Se) along the vertical direction of TMD by applying plasma thinning along with selenization (or sulfurization). This new strategy is not only to control the composition of upmost chalcogenide layer but also able to fabricate MoSSe Janus structure. In this Janus structure, the transition metals are sandwiched by selenium at upmost and sulfur at bottom. Raman spectra is applied to track and investigate the mechanism. Furthermore, this approach can be generalized to other 2D materials. Janus WSSe is also successfully achieved by applying similar plasma treatment and corresponding chalcogenization. References: 1.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
