    Controlling the morphology of the aggregates of one-dimensional van der Waals nanostructures is crucial to explore their physical properties and device applications. In this work, we focus on the growth of the ultrathin (only 3 atoms thick) transition metal chalcogenide atomic wires by using chemical vapor deposition. From the results obtained, we succeeded in (1) the growth of long, ribbon-like WTe aggregates and (2) the conversion of atomic wires into layered transition metal dichalcogenide nanoribbons via chalcogenization.

    Studying the interface junction between van der Waals materials and bulk solids provides an important key towards possible control of their crystallographic structure, growth orientation and location. In this work, such junctions were fabricated using chemical vapor deposition. Based on the results obtained, we succeeded in (1) the growth of transition metal dichalcogenide atomic layers at the interface between dissimilar solids, and (2) the wafer-scale growth of transition metal chalcogenide atomic wires for the first time.
