Thickness-modulated metal-to-semiconductor transformation in a transition metal dichalcogenide

The electronic band structure of van der Waals crystals is strongly sensitive to the number of layers. Here, the authors observe a thickness-dependent metal-to-semiconductor transition in layered PtSe2 by means of electrical transport measurements.
