a Coverage of SnSe2 after exfoliating surface layers. Statistics by ×500 optical microscope

b n sdh is calculated by 2kSdH33π2, assuming spherical FSs. A factor of two is multiplied to reflect the double valley transport

c Crystal dependent. SnSe2 microdomains thinner than 5 MLs are not distinguishable under optical microscopy

d Sn and Se are ground and thoroughly mixed before the growth
