Gamma rays impact on 2D-MoS₂ in water solution.

ABSTRACT: Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides, particularly MoS₂, are interesting materials for many applications in aerospace research, radiation therapy and bioscience more in general. Since in many of these applications MoS₂-based nanomaterials can be placed in an aqueous environment while exposed to ionizing radiation, both experimental and theoretical studies of their behaviour under these conditions is particularly interesting. Here, we study the effects of tiny imparted doses of 511 keV photons to MoS₂ nanoflakes in water solution. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study in which ionizing radiation on 2D-MoS₂ occurs in water. Interestingly, we find that, in addition to the direct interaction between high-energy photons and
