Scanning gate microscopy mapping of edge current and branched electron flow in a transition metal dichalcogenide nanoribbon and quantum point contact

M. Prokop, D. Gut, M. P. Nowak

We study scanning gate microscopy (SGM) conductance mapping of a ${\mathrm{MoS}}_2$ zigzag ribbon exploiting tight-binding and continuum models. We show that, even though the edge mo…
