Light–matter interactions in two-dimensional layered tungsten diselenide for gauging evolution of phonon dynamics (open access)

Light–matter interactions in two-dimensional layered tungsten diselenide for gauging evolution of phonon dynamics

Article exploring phonon dynamics in mechanically exfoliated two-dimensional WSe₂ using temperature-dependent and laser-power-dependent Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The work reported sheds fundamental insights into the evolution of phonon dynamics in WSe₂ and should help pave the way for designing high-performance electronic, optoelectronic and thermoelectric devices in the future.
