Here, in recent years, 2-D transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have received great interests because of the broader possibilities offered by their tunable band gaps, as opposed to gapless graphene which precludes application in digital electronics. TMDCs exhibit an indirect-to-direct band gap transition at the single atomic sheet state as well as optically accessible spin degree of freedom in valleytronics.
