Single-layer semiconducting nanosheets: high-yield preparation and device fabrication.

The common featureof these materials is that the bulk material forms are layeredstructures with strong covalent bonding in each layer andweak van der Waals forces between the layers. Therefore,single or few-layer nanosheets of these materials can beobtained by using adhesive tapes for mechanical cleavage.
