Nevertheless, as reported in the literature, they may also portray interesting physical properties under different environments. Here, we show two distinct and significant electromechanical modulations in TMD nanosheets which are tuned by the environmental conditions (applied pressure and adsorbents). Using scanning probe microscopy techniques, we modify the environmental conditions and observe steplike rises in the electrical response of all studied TMDs (MoS2, WS2, MoSe2, and WSe2monolayers and few layers). Ab initio calculations enable full understanding of specific mechanisms behind these electromechanical modulations, which may find important applications in the design of TMD-based environmental sensors.en-USrestritoScanning probe microscopyDFT calculationsEnvironmentPressureArtigo publicado em periodicohttps://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsanm.1c03002https://doi.org/10.1021/acsanm.1c03002
