Telluriding monolayer MoS2 and WS2 via alkali metal scooter

Two dimensional monolayer transition metal ditellurides and their alloys are interesting but their growth has been difficult. Herein, Yun et al. demonstrate the use of sodium salts to convert transition metal disulfide to ditelluride and alloys in tellurium vapor at low temperature.
