An Edgy Journey with Transition Metal Dichalcogenides: From Flakes to Nanopillars

The family of transitionmetal dichalcogenides offer a unique platformfor electronic and optical tunability due to the sensitivity to their dimensional configuration, edge terminations, and varying crystal phases. In this thesis we focus on structures based on the transition metal dichalcogenides MoS2 and WS2. We study how different crystal...
