      abstract     = {Layered transition metal di-chalcogenide (TMD) materials
                      exhibit a unique combination of structural anisotropy
                      combined with rich chemistry that confers controllability
                      over physical properties such as bandgap and magnetism. Most
                      research in this area is focused on single layers that are
                      technologically challenging to produce, especially when
                      trying to dope and alloy the host lattice. In this work, we
                      use MoS2 flakes as a model system for the production of
                      deliberately oriented films for practical applications in
                      which anisotropic materials are required. The proposed
                      production method combines ball milling with exfoliation in
                      solution of MoS2 flakes, followed by their arrangement on a
                      large centimeter-scale substrate by a simple and
                      non-expensive procedure. The results show that the level of
                      orientation achieved using the proposed system is as good as
                      that of materials that were pressed and subjected to thermal
                      treatment. The ball milling and exfoliation processes
                      maintain the original crystalline structure of the MoS2
                      flakes, and the XRD results show that additional
                      crystallographic phases were not produced. Lattice
                      parameters are preserved, which verifies that other species
                      such as water molecules did not intercalate into the MoS2
                      molecules. The proposed method of producing oriented films
                      is universal, and as such, it is useful both for pure
                      materials and for mixtures of compounds, the latter of which
                      can be used to produce films with specifically tailored
                      physical properties.},
