The directional growth experiments of graphite-like structured MoS2 crystallites have been conducted by utilizing a designed sample cell assembly under high pressure (2.0 and 5.0GPa) and high temperature (700 degree C). X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) are used to chara...
