TMDs (Transition Metal Dichalcogenides)

Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs) are a class of layered materials made of a transition metal (like molybdenum or tungsten) sandwiched between two layers of chalcogen elements (such as sulfur, selenium, or tellurium). These materials can be thinned down to a single atomic layer, giving them unique electrical, optical, and mechanical properties. TMDs are of great interest for advanced electronics, flexible devices, and optoelectronics because they can conduct electricity, emit light, or act as semiconductors at ultra-thin scales, offering new possibilities in modern technology.
