The presence of rich polymorphs and stacking polytypes in molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) endows it with a diverse range of electrical, catalytic, optical, and magnetic properties. This has stimulated a lot of interest in the unique properties associated with each polymorph. Most techniques used for pol...
