Non-Linear behavior of Raman Linewidth of 1-3 Layer WSe2

Abstract

In recent years, Raman spectroscopy of two-dimensional (2D) materials has been conducted. However, only a small portion of those studies note the full width half maximum (FWHM) of these 2D materials. FWHM is an indicator of phonon dispersions in 2D materials. In addition, it is a critical parameter that can denote the quality of the given 2D material, which is directly related to its engineering performance for manufactured devices. In this study, we analyze the effect that temperature has on the FWHM of the E2g1 mode for WSe2. We also analyze this temperature dependent trend for WSe2 with different thicknesses: monolayer (1L), bilayer (2L), and triple-layer (3L). The results show a different trend associated with each thickness on temperature dependence analysis for WSe2. The 1L WSe2 shows a parabolic trend with increasing temperature. Meanwhile, the 2L shows a steady linear trend with increasing temperature. On the other hand, FWHM for 3L WSe2 can be fitted by a simplified Klemens model, which explains its non-linear behavior.
