Because most of the ‘low-hanging graphene fruits’ have already been
harvested, researchers have now started paying more attention to other
two-dimensional (2D) atomic crystals6 such as isolated monolayers and
few-layer crystals of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), molybdenum
disulphide (MoS2), other dichalcogenides and layered oxides. During
the first five years of the graphene boom, there appeared only a few
stack represents an artificial material assembled in a chosen sequence—as
in building with Lego—with blocks defined with one-atomic-plane precision (Fig. 1). Strong covalent bonds provide in-plane stability of 2D
crystals, whereas relatively weak, van-der-Waals-like forces are sufficient
to keep the stack together. The possibility of making multilayer van
der Waals heterostructures has been demonstrated experimentally only
2D Materials and Heterostructures!
Figure 1 | Building van der Waals
heterostructures. If one considers
2D crystals to be analogous to Lego
blocks (right panel), the construction
of a huge variety of layered structures
becomes possible. Conceptually, this
atomic-scale Lego resembles
molecular beam epitaxy but employs
different ‘construction’ rules and a
distinct set of materials.

•  use DEME-TFSI (N,N-diethyl-N-(2methoxyethyl)-N-methylammonium

• 
all suspended devices are more
conductive by 1-4 orders of
magnitude
à IL gating is more effective in freestanding devices
Mechanism:
1.  Higher charge density
2.  Better screening that reduce Schottky
barriers and impurity scattering
