| Abstract Scope |
Two-dimensional (2D) chalcogenides have recently emerged as materials with unique physical properties. Specifically, 2D tellurides are important representatives of a variety of classes, including topological insulators, Weyl semimetals, and charge density wave materials. To discover new phenomena, it is imperative to understand the atomic structures and defects in these materials. This will lead to new opportunities to harness their unique quantum properties. Here, we will present details of the atomic structures and defects in 2D tellurides that are exfoliated from the bulk, synthesized colloidally, and grown using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). We will present results obtained using scanning and transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM), and we will discuss large-scale features, stacking, and distortions to the crystal structures. |
