Far-Infrared Signatures for a Two-Steps Pressure-Driven Metallization in Transition Metal Dichalcogenides

Elena Stellino, Beatrice D'Alo', Francesco Capitani +6

We present a high-pressure investigation of the semiconductor-to-metal transition in MoS2 and WS2 carried out by synchrotron-based far-infrared spectroscopy, to reconcile the contr…
