Recent studies have revealed that van der Waals (vdW) heteroepitaxial growth of 2D materials on crystalline substrates, such as hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), leads to the formation of self-aligned grains, which results in defect-free stitching between the grains. However, how the weak vdW interaction causes a strong limitation on the crystal orientation of grains is still not understood yet. In this work, we have focused on investigating the microscopic mechanism of the self-alignment of MoS<su ...[more]
