Angle-resolved polarized Raman spectra of the basal and edge plane of MoS2
Abstract:
Angle-resolved polarized (ARP) Raman spectroscopy can be utilized to characterize the Raman modes of two-dimensional layered materials based on crystal symmetry or crystal orientation. In this paper, the polarization properties of E 1 2 and A1g modes on the basal plane and edge plane of high purity 2H-MoS2 bulk crystal grown by chemical vapor transport (CVT) method were investigated by ARP Raman spectroscopy. The I and II type ARP Raman spectroscopy with four kinds of polarization configurations: αY, αX, βY, and βX were used to explore the intensity dependence of E 1 2 and A1g modes at different planes on the polarization direction of incident/scattered light. The results show that the E 1 2 and A1g modes exhibit different polarization properties dependent on the polarization of the incident laser and the in-plane rotation of the sample at different planes. The experimental results were confirmed and analyzed through theoretical calculation. Our work sheds light on the intriguing effect of the subtle atomic structure in stacked MoS2 layers on the resulting ARP Raman properties. This provides a reference for the study of other two-dimensional layered crystalline materials by ARP Raman spectroscopy.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light.
