Description: 
Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) ultrathin layers have attracted considerable interest in the recent years. Their peculiar functional properties can be exploited in electronics, spintronics, optoelectronics, photonics, energy production, harvesting and storage. The availability of cost-effective, green, and efficient growth processes is of paramount importance and significant effort has been made in the research on various production methodologies. Here we report on a simple laser-based process which allows the direct writing of thin TMDC layers. In detail, by direct exposure to laser irradiation of a dip-coated MoS2 precursor, we obtained a three-dimensional arrangement of MoS2 nanoparticles in the form of platelets with a lateral dimension of about 50 nm and thickness down to bilayers. The characterization was assessed by AFM and Raman spectroscopy. The platelets are formed only in the central region of …
