title: Chemical Vapor Deposition of Monolayer Rhenium Disulfide (ReS2).
abstract: The direct synthesis of monolayer and multilayer ReS2 by chemical vapor deposition at a low temperature of 450 °C is reported. Detailed characterization of this material is performed using various spectroscopy and microscopy methods. Furthermore initial field-effect transistor characteristics are evaluated, which highlight the potential in being used as an n-type semiconductor.
