Raman Spectroscopic Studies on Two-Dimensional Materials

Abstract

Raman spectroscopy is one of the most widely used tools in the field of graphene and two-dimensional (2D) materials.It is used not only to characterize structural properties such as the number of layers, defect densities, strain, etc., but also to probe the electronic band structure and other electrical properties.As the field of 2D materials expanded beyond graphene to include new classes of layered materials including transition metal dichalcogenides such as MoS 2 , new physical phenomena such as anomalous resonance behaviors are observed.In this review, recent results from Raman spectroscopic studies on 2D materials are summarized.
