Controlling Structural Anisotropy of Anisotropic 2D Layers in Pseudo-1D/2D Material Heterojunctions

The first CVD-grown ReS₂/WS₂ lateral and vertical heterojunctions are demonstrated: lateral junctions produce highly oriented Re-chains perpendicular to WS₂ edges, while vertical stacking induces six-fold Re-chain rotation and loss of macroscopic anisotropy, establishing a route to controlled large-scale nanomanufacturing of anisotropic 2D systems.
