Fig. 4: Applications of molybdenene.
a, Optical images of fabricated and commercially available cantilevers. Top left inset: FESEM image of a typical molybdenene sheet used for cantilever fabrication. Top right inset: schematic depiction of parallel and perpendicular orientations of molybdenene sheets. b, Amplitude and phase versus frequency plots of a fabricated cantilever. c–h, Comparison of topography images of standard calibration grid (c,d), 2D structure of molybdenene sheets (e,f) and DNA on graphene oxide sheets (g,h) obtained with fabricated and commercial cantilevers, respectively. i,j, SEM images of Mo cantilevers (inset: amplitude (V) versus frequency (Hz) sweep before (green curve) and after (red curve) DNA attachment) for molybdenene-fabricated tips of two different dimensions (length and breadth). k,l, SEM images of multiwalled carbon nanotubes over glass and molybdenene as an anchoring substrate respectively.
