Van der Waals Force Isolation of Monolayer MoS2.
Monolayer MoS2can effectively screen the vdW interaction of underlying substrates with external systems by >90% because of the substantial increase in the separation between the substrate and external systems due to the presence of the monolayer. This substantial screening of vdW interactions by MoS2monolayer is different from what reported at graphene.
