Abstract

We review vibrational and electronic properties of single and a few layer MoS $_{2}$ relevant to understand their resonant and non-resonant Raman scattering results. In particular, the optical modes and low frequency shear and layer breathing modes show significant dependence on the number of MoS $_{2}$ layers. Further, the electron doping of the MoS $_{2}$ single layer achieved using top-gating in a field effect transistor renormalizes the two optical modes A $_{1 g}$ and E $_{2 g}^{1}$ differently due to symmetry-dependent electron-phonon coupling. The issues related to carrier mobility, the Schottky barrier at the MoS $_{2}$ -metal contact pads and the modifications of the dielectric environment are addressed. The direct optical transitions for single layer-MoS $_{2}$ involve two excitons at K-point in the Brillouin zone and their stability with temperature and pressure has been reviewed. Finally, the Fermi-level dependence of spectral shift for a quasiparticle, called trion, has been discussed.
