Spontaneous Room-Temperature Solid-State Reaction at the MoS₂/Ti Interface: Implications for Contact Engineering.

ABSTRACT: High-quality interfaces with metals are essential for exploiting two-dimensional materials in nanoscale solid-state devices. Conventional strategies rely on depositing metals with a suitable work function at low kinetic energies to minimize damage. Direct exfoliation of layered materials onto clean metal surfaces under ultrahigh vacuum offers a promising alternative, producing pristine, oxide-free interfaces while avoiding the disorder induced by high-energy metal deposition. TMDCs possess unique properties, including a direct band gap, high carrier mobility, and strong spin-orbit coupling, which makes them highly promising for high-performance electronic and optoelectronic devices such as transistors, photodetectors, and solar cells, as well as for emerging quantum technologies.
