Abstract

Raman scattering is a powerful tool to obtain information about the lattice vibrations of a crystal and it has been widely applied for the characterization of 2D TMDCs. This chapter provides a detailed description of the symmetry of odd- and even-layered structures, non-resonant and resonant Raman scattering, as well as polarisation effects with a special accent on features that are only observed in few-layer systems. The effects of hydrostatic pressure, strain, temperature, interlayer coupling and other factors are also covered.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The terminology in the original publication [67], i.e. ‘S–S atom’ and ‘Mo–S atom’, is somewhat inaccurate but it was preserved here.

  2. 2.

    There is a discrepancy between peak assignments between [90] and [97]. While in the former the peaks located between 300 and 400 cm\(^{-1}\) are referred to as second-order, in the latter, they are believed to be first-order.

  3. 3.

    It should be noted that the details of the calculations are not sufficiently described in the original publication, which poses several questions. According to the description provided, the calculations were performed using GGA-PBE (Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof) functional and it is well established that at the GGA-PBE level of theory the interaction between layers is much weaker than in cases when vdW interaction is properly accounted for; repulsive interlayer interaction can be obtained even for \(\mathrm {MoS_{2}}\) [98, 99]. At the same time, the vdW energy obtained for \(\mathrm {MoS_{2}}\) in the cited work [90] is the same as the one obtained in [98] with vdW-DFT functional used. Hence, calculations that explicitly include vdW interaction have to be performed before this issue can be definitively answered.
