a round film is bombarded vertically with an ion beam. Each ion leaves a straight track in the film

#New way to move atomically thin semiconductors for use in flexible devices Researchers from North carolina State university have developed a new way to transfer thin semiconductor films
and can perfectly transfer the atomic scale thin films from one substrate to others without causing any cracks.
At issue are molybdenum sulfide (Mos2) thin films that are only one atom thick first developed by Dr. Linyou Cao an assistant professor of materials science and engineering at NC State.
The ultimate goal is to use these atomic-layer semiconducting thin films to create devices that are extremely flexible
but to do that we need to transfer the thin films from the substrate we used to make it to a flexible substrate says Cao who is senior author of a paper on the new transfer technique.
You can't make the thin film on a flexible substrate because flexible substrates can't withstand the high temperatures you need to make the thin film.
Cao's team makes Mos2 films that are an atom thick and up to 5 centimeters in diameter.
The researchers needed to find a way to move that thin film without wrinkling or cracking it
which is challenging due to the film's extreme delicacy. To put that challenge in perspective an atom-thick thin film that is 5 centimeters wide is equivalent to a piece of paper that is as wide as a large city Cao said.
Our goal is to transfer that big thin paper from one city to another without causing any damage or wrinkles.
Existing techniques for transferring such thin films from a substrate rely on a process called chemical etching
or contaminate the film. Cao's team has developed a technique that takes advantage of the Mos2's physical properties to transfer the thin film using only room-temperature water a tissue and a pair of tweezers.
Mos2 is hydrophobic-it repels water. But the sapphire substrate the thin film is grown on is hydrophilic-it attracts water.
Cao's new transfer technique works by applying a drop of water to the thin film
and then poking the edge of the film with tweezers or a scalpel so that the water can begin to penetrate between the Mos2 and the sapphire.
Once it has begun to penetrate the water pushes into the gap floating the thin film on top.
The researchers use a tissue to soak up the water and then lift the thin film with tweezers and place it on a flexible substrate.
The whole process takes a couple of minutes. Chemical etching takes hours. The water breaks the adhesion between the substrate
and the thin film-but it's important to remove the water before moving the film Cao says.
Otherwise capillary action would case the film to buckle or fold when you pick it up.
These semiconducting nanowires could also replace thin films that cover today's solar panels. Current panels can process only 20 percent of the solar energy they take in.

Iwasa and his team created films consisting of one to four atomic layers of molybdenum disulfide.
Most previous studies of this material focused on films in which each layer is the mirror image of the one below.
Instead the atoms in each molybdenum disulfide layer in the films created by Iwasa's team were shifted slightly from those in the two-dimensional level beneath (Fig. 1). This breaking of the film's symmetry meant that the researchers were also able to harness the spin of electrons.
since 2001 and our technology has achieved now the fabrication of large area(>1000 mm2) ultra-thin films only a few atoms thick.
Our ability to not only synthesise large uniform thin films but also to transfer these films to virtually any substrate has led to increased demand for our materials.

That caused degradation of the film. Those spots got so hot that they burned up.

The films are still useful for deicing applications but can be used to coat glass and plastic as well as radar domes and antennas.
One can now think of using these films in automobile glass as an invisible deicer and even in skyscrapers Tour said.
