Preface
The great accomplishment of graphene has been pursued by an equally inspiring surge for the expansion of other 2D materials isolated from its original van der Waals crystal that can form atomic sheets with extraordinary properties. Among them, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are layered materials which are composed of type MX2 of group VIA, where M is a transition metal atoms (M=Mo, W and X=S, Se, Te), and are emerging next-generation semiconductor materials. Depending on the arrangement of the atoms, the structures of 2D TMDs can be categorized as trigonal prismatic (hexagonal, H), octahedral (tetragonal, T), and their distorted phase (T0). Depending on their chemical compositions and structural configurations, atomically thin 2D materials can be categorized as metallic, semimetallic, semiconducting, insulating, or superconducting. Two-dimensional TMDs exhibit unique electrical and optical properties that evolve from the quantum confinement and surface effects that arise
