Layered transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are a particularly promising platform for low-dimensional electronic devices due to their two-dimensional nature and richness regarding physical phenomena. This includes non-linear conductance behavior due to, e.g., metal-insulator transitions and memristive behavior, which is of particular interest to in-memory computing designs for neuromorphic systems. By combination of micrometer position- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (µ-ARPES) in the soft X-ray range with in operando electrical control, we attempt to study the electronic structure changes concomitant with thickness changes and non-equilibrium conditions in device-like structures based on TMDCs. A portrayal of conductance-governing mechanisms at a fundamental level could help to evolve towards the understanding and engineering of novel band structures, transport phenomena, and device functionality.
