Grain size and boundaries control. a Surface coverage and average domain size of MoS₂ as a function of precursor/substrate distance, b effect of precursor/substrate distance on the nuclei density of MoS₂ during growth [62], Copyright 2015, Springer Nature. c Flow diagram represents different routes for the synthesis of distinct types TMCs by the chemical vapor deposition method. Different routes indicated the nucleus formation and their growth mechanism as a function of mass flux of precursor and growth rate [52]. Copyright 2018, Springer Nature
