Scanning Tunneling Microscopy of an Air Sensitive Dichalcogenide Through an Encapsulating Layer
Many atomically thin exfoliated two-dimensional (2D) materials degrade when exposed to ambient conditions. They can be protected and investigated by means of transport and optical measurements if they are encapsulated between chemically inert single layers in the controlled atmosphere of a glovebox. Here, we demonstrate that the same encapsulation procedure …
