Two-dimensional materials such as transitional metal dichalcogenides exhibit unique optical and electrical properties. Here we report on the varying optical properties of CVD grown MoS2 monolayer flakes with different shapes. In particular,…
Strain engineering in single-layer semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides aims to tune their bandgap energy and to modify their optoelectronic properties by the application of external strain. In this paper we study transition…
The sensitive correlation between optical parameters and strain in Mo$S_2$ results in a totally different approach to tune the optical properties. Usually, an external source of strain is employed to monitor the optical and vibrational…
Nonlinear optical materials of atomic thickness--such as non-centrosymmetric 2H transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers--have a second order nonlinear susceptibility ($\chi^{(2)}$) whose intensity can be tuned by strain. However, whether…
Layered transition-metal dichalcogenides have emerged as exciting material systems with atomically thin geometries and unique electronic properties. Pressure is a powerful tool for continuously tuning their crystal and electronic structures…
Semiconducting 2D materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), are emerging in nanomechanics, optoelectronics, and thermal transport. In each of these fields, perfect control over 2D material properties including strain,…
Resonance Raman scattering, a very effective and sensitive technique for atomically thin semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenide, can be used to observe the phonons from the entire Brillouin zone. In addition to the significance of…
We investigate experimentally the mechanical response of a monolayer of bi-disperse frictional grains to an inhomogeneous shear perturbation across the jamming transition. We inflate an intruder inside the packing and use photo-elasticity…
Strain is ubiquitous in solid-state materials, but despite its fundamental importance and technological relevance, leveraging externally applied strain to gain control over material properties is still in its infancy. In particular, strain…
In bilayer CrI3, experimental and theoretical studies suggest that the magnetic order is closely related to the layer staking configuration. In this work, we study the effect of dynamical lattice distortions, induced by non-linear phonon…
Little is known about the role of weak interlayer coupling in the second harmonic generation (SHG) effects of two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) systems. In this article, taking homo-bilayer $MoS_2/MoS_2$ and hetero-bilayer $MoS_2/MoSe_2$…
Since the stacking order sensitively affects various physical properties of layered materials, accurate determination of the stacking order is important for studying the basic properties of these materials as well as for device…
The study of heat transport in two-dimensional (2D) materials reveals novel behaviors due to quantum confinement effects, where in-plane and out-of-plane phonons play crucial roles. In 2D materials like graphene, it is widely recognized…
The new class of Janus two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides with two different interfaces are currently gaining increasing attention due to their distinct properties different from the typical 2D materials. Here, we show…
The change of bonding status, typically occurring only in chemical processes, could dramatically alter the material properties. Here, we show that a tunable breaking and forming of a diatomic bond can be achieved through physical means,…
The electronic and vibrational properties of 2D materials are dramatically altered by the formation of a moir\'e superlattice. The lowest-energy phonon modes of the superlattice are two acoustic branches (called phasons) that describe the…
Single layers of transition metal dichalcogenides such as MoS$_2$ are direct bandgap semiconductors with optical and electronic properties distinct from multilayers due to strong vertical confinement. Despite the fundamental monolayer limit…
First-principles calculations, within the framework of density functional theory, have been performed on the well-studied 2H and the less explored 1T$^{\prime}$ phase of single-layer MoS$_{2}$. We have addressed the strain-induced…
As an ideal platform, both the theoretical prediction and first experimental verification of chiral phonons are based on transition-metal dichalcogenide materials. The manipulation of phonon chirality in these materials will have a profound…
The ideal strength of monolayer materials possessing semimetallic, semiconducting, and insulating ground states is computed using density functional theory. Here we show that, as in graphene, a soft mode occurs at the K-point in BN,…
