Bi2Se3-WS2 2D heterostructures were transferred onto a holey amorphous SiNx TEM grid using the water-assisted-pick-up transfer method. 44 (
link) Bright-field imaging, high-resolution TEM (HRTEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) were performed with a JEOL
JEM2200FS operating at 200 kV, equipped with a high-speed Gatan
OneView camera. The HRTEM images were acquired at selected regions-of-interest as rapidly as possible to minimize sample alteration from the electron beam. The SAED patterns were internally calibrated to the WS2, and an aperture of approximately 200nm was used.
Atmospheric measurements: Atmospheric measurements were conducted inside a Janis ST-500 with vacuum, air, N2 and O2 connections. Figure 4 applied a 38.8µW 532nm laser without interruption at a 50x long working distance objective (1.65µW/µm 2 ). Spectra were measured at various intervals with a 0.8 sec. collection time. Figure 5 and Section S6 applied 84.7 µW 588nm laser without interruption at a 50x long working distance objective. Spectra were measured at various intervals with a 0.4 sec. collection time.
