Atomically thin MoS$_{2}$ crystals have been recognized as a quasi-2D semiconductor with remarkable physics properties. This letter reports our Raman scattering measurements on multilayer and monolayer MoS$_{2}$, especially in the low-frequency range ($<$50 cm$^{-1}$). We find two low-frequency Raman modes with contrasting thickness dependence. With increasing the number of MoS$_{2}$ layers, one shows a significant increase in frequency while the other decreases following a 1/N (N denotes layer-number) trend. With the aid of first-principle calculations we assign the former as the shear mode $E_{2g}^{2}$ and the latter as the compression vibrational mode. The opposite evolution of the two modes with thickness demonstrates novel vibrational modes in atomically thin crystal as well as a new and more precise way to characterize thickness of atomically thin MoS$_{2}$ films. In addition, we observe a broad feature around 38 cm$^{-1}$ (~5 meV) which is visible only under near-resonance excitation and pinned at the fixed energy independent of thickness. We interpret the feature as an electronic Raman scattering associated with the spin-orbit coupling induced splitting in conduction band at K points in their Brillouin zone.

Phonon-phonon anharmonic effects have a strong influence on the phonon spectrum; most prominent manifestation of these effects are the softening (shift in frequency) and broadening (change in FWHM) of the phonon modes at finite temperature. Using Ram
an spectroscopy, we studied the temperature dependence of the FWHM and Raman shift of $mathrm{E_{2g}^1}$ and $mathrm{A_{1g}}$ modes for single-layer and natural bilayer MoS$_2$ over a broad range of temperatures ($8 < $T$ < 300$ K). Both the Raman shift and FWHM of these modes show linear temperature dependence for $T>100$ K, whereas they become independent of temperature for $T<100$ K. Using first-principles calculations, we show that three-phonon anharmonic effects intrinsic to the material can account for the observed temperature-dependence of the line-width of both the modes. It also plays an important role in determining the temperature-dependence of the frequency of the Raman modes. The observed evolution of the line-width of the A$_{1g}$ mode suggests that electron-phonon processes are additionally involved. From the analysis of the temperature-dependent Raman spectra of MoS$_2$ on two different substrates -- SiO$_2$ and hexagonal boron nitride, we disentangle the contributions of external stress and internal impurities to these phonon-related processes. We find that the renormalization of the phonon mode frequencies on different substrates is governed by strain and intrinsic doping. Our work establishes the role of intrinsic phonon anharmonic effects in deciding the Raman shift in MoS$_2$ irrespective of substrate and layer number.
Real-world quantum applications, eg. on-chip quantum networks and quantum cryptography, necessitate large scale integrated single-photon sources with nanoscale footprint for modern information technology. While on-demand and high fidelity implantatio
n of atomic scale single-photon sources in conventional 3D materials suffer from uncertainties due to the crystals dimensionality, layered 2D materials can host point-like centers with inherent confinement to a sub-nm plane. However, previous attempts to truly deterministically control spatial position and spectral homogeneity while maintaining the 2D character have not been realized. Here, we demonstrate the on-demand creation and precise positioning of single-photon sources in atomically thin MoS2 with very narrow ensemble broadening and near-unity fabrication yield. Focused ion beam irradiation creates 100s to 1000s of mono-typical atomistic defects with anti-bunched emission lines with sub-10 nm lateral and 0.7 nm axial positioning accuracy. Our results firmly establish 2D materials as a scalable platform for single-photon emitters with unprecedented control of position as well as photophysical properties owing to the all-interfacial nature.
As a 2D ferromagnetic semiconductor with magnetic ordering, atomically thin chromium triiodide is the latest addition to the family of two-dimensional (2D) materials. However, realistic exploration of CrI3-based devices and heterostructures is challe
nging, due to its extreme instability under ambient conditions. Here we present Raman characterization of CrI3, and demonstrate that the main degradation pathway of CrI3 is the photocatalytic substitution of iodine by water. While simple encapsulation by Al2O3, PMMA and hexagonal BN (hBN) only leads to modest reduction in degradation rate, minimizing exposure of light markedly improves stability, and CrI3 sheets sandwiched between hBN layers are air-stable for >10 days. By monitoring the transfer characteristics of CrI3/graphene heterostructure over the course of degradation, we show that the aquachromium solution hole-dopes graphene.
We report on the transport and low-frequency noise measurements of MoS2 thin-film transistors with thin (2-3 atomic layers) and thick (15-18 atomic layers) channels. The back-gated transistors made with the relatively thick MoS2 channels have advanta
ges of the higher electron mobility and lower noise level. The normalized noise spectral density of the low-frequency 1/f noise in thick MoS2 transistors is of the same level as that in graphene. The MoS2 transistors with the atomically thin channels have substantially higher noise levels. It was established that, unlike in graphene devices, the noise characteristics of MoS2 transistors with thick channels (15-18 atomic planes) could be described by the McWhorter model. Our results indicate that the channel thickness optimization is crucial for practical applications of MoS2 thin-film transistors.
We measured the work of separation of single and few-layer MoS2 membranes from a SiOx substrate using a mechanical blister test, and found a value of 220 +- 35 mJ/m^2. Our measurements were also used to determine the 2D Youngs modulus of a single MoS
2 layer to be 160 +- 40 N/m. We then studied the delamination mechanics of pressurized MoS2 bubles, demonstrating both stable and unstable transitions between the bubbles laminated and delaminated states as the bubbles were inflated. When they were deflated, we observed edge pinning and a snap-in transition which are not accounted for by the previously reported models. We attribute this result to adhesion hysteresis and use our results to estimate the work of adhesion of our membranes to be 42 +- 20 mJ/m^2.
