Studies using Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) were limited due to the complexity of the (atomically-thin) sample fabrication requirements. This work developed a unique way to selectively cut and re-stack monolayers of TMDs with a controlled rotational twist angle which could then be easily suspended on a TEM grid to meet the needs of the atomically thin sample requirements. The fabrication technique enabled the study of the two common stacking-polytypes including 3R and 2H (using MoS2 and WS2 as the example) as well as their structural evolution with decreasing twist-angle. Also reported is a comprehensive investigation of electronic properties using scanning probe microscopy and electrical transport measurements of the artificially-engineered structures. These and other studies highlight the unique intrinsic properties of TMDs and their potential application in the development of the next generation of optoelectronics. 001450214 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001450214 650_0 $$aSuperlattices as materials. 001450214 650_0 $$aAtomic theory. 001450214 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001450214 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aWESTON, ASTRID.$$tATOMIC AND ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES OF 2D MOIRE INTERFACES.$$d[Place of publication not identified] : SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PU, 2022$$z3031120922$$w(OCoLC)1331705323 001450214 830_0 $$aSpringer theses. 001450214 852__ $$bebk 001450214 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-12093-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001450214 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1450214$$pGLOBAL_SET 001450214 980__ $$aBIB 001450214 980__ $$aEBOOK 001450214 982__ $$aEbook 001450214 983__ $$aOnline 001450214 994__ $$a92$$bISE
