The electrical and optical measurements, in combination with density functional theory calculations, show distinct layer-dependent semiconductor-to-semimetal evolution of 2D layered PtSe2 . The high room-temperature electron mobility and near-infrared photo-response, together with much better air-stability, make PtSe2 a versatile electronic 2D layered material.
Keywords: 2D layered materials; PtSe2; electronic structure; mobility; transition metal dichalcogenides.
