Abstract
Cross sections of the (0001) layers in natural (molybdenite) and synth esized molybdenum disulfide crystals have been observed by high-resolu tion transmission electron microscopy. The image simulation for hexago nal and rhombohedral MoS2 crystals which are perfect and contain vario us types of stacking faults shows that the Mo and S columns along the incident electron beam can be distinguished in the [2110BAR] images an d hence the stacking sequence of Mo and S layers can be determined. Th e layer structures and the formation mechanisms of the stacking faults which have been found in natural and synthesized molybdenum disulfide Hakes are presented.
