Summary

Measurements on monolayer MoS2 devices identify classical percolation, driven by dielectric-interface disorder, as the conduction-onset mechanism.

A temperature-independent Hall-density collapse and vanishing activation energy converge on one critical carrier density. Extracted barriers exceed room-temperature thermal energies, keeping interface disorder relevant beyond cryogenic operation.

Why it matters

Measurements on monolayer MoS2 devices identify classical percolation, driven by dielectric-interface disorder, as the conduction-onset mechanism.

Limits and context

No additional limitation was separately recorded.

Key claims

  1. Measurements on monolayer MoS2 devices identify classical percolation, driven by dielectric-interface disorder, as the conduction-onset mechanism.
