Though metallic edge states in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide have been observed before, how these states contribute to charge transport remains unclear. Here, the authors quantify the edge state contribution to electrical transport in monolayer MoS2/WSe2 field-effect transistors, revealing a dominated non-linear edge transport at low temperature, indicating possible Luttinger liquid behavior.
