AbstractThe discovery of two-dimensional (2D) materials has opened up new frontiers and challenges for exploring fundamental research. Recently, single-layer (SL) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have emerged as candidate materials for electronic and optoelectronic applications. In contrast to graphene, SL TMDCs have sizable band gaps that change from indirect to direct in SLs, which is useful in making thinner and more efficient electronic devices, such as transistors, photodetectors, and electroluminescent devices. In addition, SL TMDCs show strong spin-orbit coupling effects at the valence band edges, giving rise to the observation of valley-selective optical excitations. Here, we review the basic electronic and optical properties of pure and defected group-VIB SL TMDCs, with emphasis on the strong excitonic effects and their prospect for future optoelectronic devices.

The discovery of graphene marks a major event in the physics and chemistry of materials. The amazing properties of this two-dimensional (2D) material have prompted research on other 2D layered materials, of which layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are important members. Single-layer and few-layer TMDCs have been synthesized and characterized. They possess a wide range of properties many of which have not been known hitherto. A typical example of such materials is MoS 2 . In this article, we briefly present various aspects of layered analogues of graphene as exemplified by TMDCs. The discussion includes not only synthesis and characterization, but also various properties and phenomena exhibited by the TMDCs. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Fullerenes: past, present and future, celebrating the 30th anniversary of Buckminster Fullerene’.
