This study was completed to determine the anisotropy in molybdenum disulfide, MoS2,thin films. The hexagonal crystal structure of MoS2 and recent results on tungsten diselenide,with a similar structure, lead to the belief that MoS2 may exhibit ultralow thermal conductivity.Thermal conductivities were measured using the time-domain thermoreflectance method. MoS2samples were prepared with different crystallographic orientations relative to the substrate by magnetron sputtering and ion-beam-assisted deposition. The thermal conductivity of MoS2 was measured as low as 0.2 W/m-K, very low for a fully dense solid and 3 times lower than in theamorphous phase. Although thermal conductivity was not strongly dependent on the orientationof the crystal structure, deposition parameters can be used to control thermal conductivity.
