Hybrid covalent-van der waals system 2d heterostructures by dative epitaxy

Abstract

A method for making a two-dimensional heterostructure where one or more van der Waals template precursors may be deposited on a substrate such that a van der Waals template grows on the substrate, and one or more crystal layer precursors may be deposited on a surface of the van der Waals template such that a crystal layer grows on the van der Waals template, wherein the crystal layer is an epitaxial crystal layer. Also provided is an epitaxially-grown two-dimensional heterostructure with at least two components, wherein a plurality of the components engage in dative bonding.
