Strain engineering has arisen as a powerful technique to tune the electronic and optical properties of two-dimensional semiconductors like molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). Although several theoretical works predicted that biaxial strain would be more effective than uniaxial strain to tune the band structure of MoS2, a direct experimental verification is still missing in the literature. Here we implemented a simple experimental setup that allows to apply biaxial strain through the bending of a cruciform polymer substrate. We used the setup to study the effect of biaxial strain on the differential reflectance spectra of 12 single-layer MoS2 flakes finding a redshift of the excitonic features at a rate between -40 meV/% and -110 meV/% of biaxial tension. We also directly compare the effect of biaxial and uniaxial strain on the same single-layer MoS2 finding that the biaxial strain gauge factor is 2.3 times larger than the uniaxial strain one.
The advancement of nanoscale electronics has been limited by energy dissipation challenges for over a decade. Such limitations could be particularly severe for two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors integrated with flexible substrates or multi-layered p
We fabricate large-area atomically thin MoS$_2$ layers through the direct transformation of crystalline molybdenum MoS$_2$ (MoO$_3$) by sulfurization at relatively low temperatures. The obtained MoS2 sheets are polycrystalline (~10-20 nm single-cryst
Semiconductors require stable doping for applications in transistors, optoelectronics, and thermoelectrics. However, this has been challenging for two-dimensional (2D) materials, where existing approaches are either incompatible with conventional sem
We present a transient absorption setup combining broadband detection over the visible-UV range with high temporal resolution ($sim$20fs) which is ideally suited to trigger and detect vibrational coherences in different classes of materials. We gener
In this letter we present photoluminescence measurements with different excitation energies on single-layer MoS$_2$ and MoSe$_2$ in order to examine the resonance behavior of the conservation of circular polarization in these transition metal dichalc
