Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) tin(II) monosulfide (SnS) with strong structural anisotropy has been proven to be a phosphorene analog. However, difficulty in isolating very thin layer of SnS poses challenges practical utilization. Here, we prepare ultrathin via liquid-phase exfoliation. With transmission electron microscopy, identify the buckled structure 2D SnS. We employ temperature dependent Raman spectroscopy elucidate electron–phonon interactions, which reveals linear phonon shifts. The...
Lead halide perovskites have been widely explored in the field of photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes, and lasers due to their outstanding linear nonlinear optical (NLO) properties.
