  • Rhombohedral-stacked (R-stacked) transition metal dichalcogenide bilayers exhibit remarkable properties, but their large-area epitaxial growth remains challenging. Here, the authors report the remote epitaxy of centimetre-scale single-crystal R-stacked WS2 bilayer films on sapphire substrates.

  • Recent studies have reported the growth of 2D non-centrosymmetric single crystals on substrates with surface steps, but the mechanisms are still unclear. Here, the authors demonstrate a method to grow unidirectionally aligned transition metal dichalcogenide grains on various types of substrates, showing the importance of the simultaneous formation of grain nuclei and substrate steps.

  • The growth of monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) on insulating substrates could promote high-end applications of 2D (opto-)electronic devices, but remains difficult to achieve. Here, the authors report a stamp-like growth-transfer technique to produce inch-sized single-crystal hBN and graphene monolayers on various insulating substrates.
