Abstract
Small changes in the structure of thin bidimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) can radically alter the overall material properties. Here, we investigate the epitaxial self-organized boundary between two tungsten diselenide domains obtained by chemical vapor deposition: the AB ferroelectric bilayer (noncentrosymmetric, 3R-like) and the conventional AA' bilayer (centrosymmetric, 2H). Several tools are used to isolate and confirm the different polytype signatures, such as micro-Raman, second harmonic generation (SHG) and photoluminescence. Transmission electron microscopy is found to bring complementary information to Raman and SHG in the polytype determination. Finally, we resolve and index a particular sawtooth structure in the experimental 2H|3R boundary wall, whose origin is linked to particular twin boundaries observed in other TMDs.
