N2 - Tin (II) selenide (SnSe) is an emerging 2D material with many intriguing properties, such as record-high thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT), purely in-plane ferroelectricity, and excellent nonlinear optical properties. To explore these functional properties and related applications, a crucial step is to develop controllable routes to synthesize large-area, ultrathin, and high-quality SnSe crystals. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) constitutes a reliable method to synthesize 2D SnSe, however, effects of various growth parameters have not yet been systematically investigated, and current PVD-synthesized flakes are often thick (>10 nm) with small lateral sizes (
