Abstract

In this letter, thermal effects on the Raman spectra of molybdenum disulfide with thicknesses ranging from bulk to monolayer were evaluated. We quantitatively determined the laser-induced heating effects on the peak position and the line-width of the Raman spectrum. We found considerable thickness-dependent red-shifts as well as line-width changes for both E2g1 and A1g vibrating modes as laser power was increased. Our results enrich the knowledge of phononic behaviors of this material and demonstrate the important effects of the anharmonic terms in the lattice potential energy.
