Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) Monolayer Film
High purity tungsten disulfide monolayer film
For applications in electronic and optoelectronic devices
Tungsten disulfide (WS2) monolayer films supersede MoS2 with their superior optical properties, as measured by photoluminescent quantum yield (PLQY) and line-widths. With even larger spin-orbit coupling and nearly three times larger valence band splitting, WS2 monolayer films may exhibit larger band edge spin splittings, stronger valley-Hall effect, and magnetic field effects for optoelectronic and spintronic functionalities.
Applications
Tungsten disulfide monolayer films show a much higher photoluminescence efficiency and narrower emission line-width than MoS2. Monolayer WS2 films have been widely used in electronic and optoelectronic devices, such as in photovoltaic, FETs, photodetectors, and valleytronic applications.
Synthesis
High-quality tungsten disulfide monolayer films are grown directly on the substrates (sapphire) by the chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method.
Usage
WS2 monolayer films can be used in research purposes such as microscopic analysis, photoluminescence, and Raman spectroscopy studies. Monolayer WS2 films can also be transferred to other substrates.
