E” Raman Mode in Thermal Strain-Fractured CVD-MoS2

چکیده
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has recently attracted considerable interests due to its unique properties and potential applications. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method is used widely to grow large-area and high-quality MoS2 single crystals. Here, we report our investigation on thermal strain-fractured (SF) single crystalline MoS2, oxidation-fractured MoS2, and normal MoS2 by atomic force microscopy (AFM), Raman and photoluminescence (PL) measurements. Several new Raman modes are observed for SF-MoS2. The band gap of SF-MoS2 is enlarged by 150 meV and the PL intensity is reduced substantially. These results imply that a structural transformation occurs in SF-MoS2. Our findings here are useful for the design of MoS2-based nanocatalysts with relative high catalytic activity.

Spectroscopic signatures for interlayer coupling in MoS2-WSe2 van der Waals stacking.
Stacking of MoS2 and WSe2 monolayers is conducted by transferring triangular MoS2 monolayers on top of WSe2 monolayers, all grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) studies reveal that these mechanically stacked monolayers are not closely coupled, but after a thermal treatment at 300 °C, it is possible to produce van der Waals solids consisting of ...
متن کاملA direct comparison of CVD-grown and exfoliated MoS2 using optical spectroscopy
MoS2 is a highly interesting material, which exhibits a crossover from an indirect band gap in the bulk crystal to a direct gap for single layers. Here, we perform a direct comparison between large-area MoS2 films grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and MoS2 flakes prepared by mechanical exfoliation from mineral bulk crystal. Raman spectroscopy measurements show differences between the in-...
متن کاملBandgap engineering of strained monolayer and bilayer MoS2.
We report the influence of uniaxial tensile mechanical strain in the range 0-2.2% on the phonon spectra and bandstructures of monolayer and bilayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) two-dimensional crystals. First, we employ Raman spectroscopy to observe phonon softening with increased strain, breaking the degeneracy in the E' Raman mode of MoS2, and extract a Grüneisen parameter of ~1.06. Second, us...
متن کاملFabrication and Characterization of Humidity Sensors Based on CVD Grown MoS2 Thin Film
Recent advances in two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides have demonstrated their potential application in chemical sensors. However, the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) humidity sensors are still largely unexplored. In this work, MoS2 thin films were grown on 1 cm 2 sapphire substrates through sulfurization of e-beam deposited Mo layers. The MoS...
متن کاملRaman spectroscopy study of lattice vibration and crystallographic orientation of monolayer MoS2 under uniaxial strain.
The false-color (3D type) image of the intensity of the Raman spectra of monolayer MoS2 versus both peak positions and polar angles is plotted. It shows that the strongest E2g (1+) and E2g (1-) peaks appear at different angles, reflected as the alternation of the maxima of the intensity within the frequency range of the E2g (1) mode, which is the consequence of the crystallographic orientation ...
