Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have garnered substantial recognition as viable alternatives to traditional three-dimensional, or bulk, crystals of the silicon era. This new class of materials are generally immune to short-channel effects, featuring large surface-to-volume ratios, an absence of...
