Intercalation Leads to Inverse Layer Dependence of Friction on Chemically Doped MoS_{2}

Ogulcan Acikgoz, Enrique Guerrero, Alper Yanilmaz +4

We present results of atomic-force-microscopy-based friction measurements on Re-doped molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). In stark contrast to the widespread observation of decreasing fri…
