Review demonstrates layer-dependent phonon dynamics and Raman scattering in transition metal dichalcogenides, highlighting non-destructive characterization of two-dimensional heterostructures.

Key Points

Synthesize the fundamental physics of lattice vibrations and evaluate the utility of Raman spectroscopy across monolayer, multilayer, and bulk transition metal dichalcogenides.
Evaluated vibrational properties across representative transition metal dichalcogenides, specifically MoS2, WS2, WSe2, and MoSe2.
Analyzed layer-number evolution of high-frequency optical modes, interlayer shear modes, and layer-breathing modes alongside Raman selection rules and Brillouin zone edge phonons.
Interlayer shear and layer-breathing vibrational modes systematically shift with layer count, establishing low-frequency Raman spectroscopy as a rapid, substrate-free technique to determine layer thickness.
Raman scattering effectively tracks structural and environmental variations in two-dimensional systems, including interlayer electronic coupling, spin-orbit splitting, and external strain perturbations.
