Type-I van der Waals heterostructure formed by MoS2 and ReS2 monolayers

On the Cover: This research reports the existence of a molecular structure – formed by stacking atomically thin layers of two compounds, molybdenum sulfide and rhenium sulfide – whose semiconducting properties differ from most similar dual-layered configurations.
