Defects usually play an important role in tailoring various properties of two-dimensional materials. monolayer molybdenum disulphide may be responsible for large variation electric and optical properties.

Abstract Surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) imparts with the capability of detecting analytes at single‐molecule level, but costs are also manifold, such as a loss signal reproducibility. Despite remarkable steps having been taken, presently SERS still seems too young to shoulder analytical missions in various practical situations. By virtue its unique molecular structure and physical/chemical properties, rise graphene opens up platform for studies. In this review, multi‐role played...

Abstract An optical anisotropic nature of black phosphorus (BP) is revealed by angle‐resolved polarized Raman spectroscopy (ARPRS), and for the first time, an all‐optical method was realized to identify crystal orientation BP sheets, that is, zigzag armchair directions. We found intensities A g 1 , B 2g 2 modes not only depend on polarization angle α, but also relate sample rotation θ. Furthermore, their reach local maximum or minimum values when crystalline along with direction scattered...
The striking in-plane anisotropy remains one of the most intriguing properties for newly rediscovered black phosphorus (BP) 2D crystals. However, because its rather low-energy band gap, optical few-layer BP has been primarily investigated in near-infrared (NIR) regime. Moreover, essential physics that determine intrinsic anisotropic property BP, which is great importance practical applications and optoelectronic devices, are still fancy theory. Herein, we report direct observation visible...

Transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayer alloys are a branch of two-dimensional (2D) materials which can have large-range band gap tuning as the composition changes.

Two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenide alloys have attracted intense attention due to their tunable band gaps. In the present work, photoluminescence, Raman scattering, and electrical transport properties of monolayer few-layer molybdenum tungsten diselenide (Mo1–xWxSe2, 0 ≤ x 1) are systematically investigated. The strong photoluminescence emissions from Mo1–xWxSe2 monolayers indicate composition-tunable direct gaps (from 1.56 1.65 eV), while weak broad bilayers indirect...
