Fundamental Properties:
Undoped molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) is a layered n-type semiconductor belonging to the family of transition metal dichalcogenides. In its monolayer form, MoS₂ has a direct bandgap of approximately 1.85 eV, making it highly suitable for optoelectronic applications. In bulk form, MoS₂ exhibits an indirect bandgap of 1.23 eV. The bandgap of multilayer MoS₂ lies between these two values, gradually transitioning from direct to indirect as the number of layers increases.
Applications:
MoS₂ thin films are widely applied in various fields, including optoelectronic devices, microelectronics, biosensors, and chemical sensors, due to their unique electronic and optical properties.
