Correlation of structural, nanomechanical and electrostatic properties of single and few-layers MoS2

TL;DR

This paper investigates the intrinsic optical, electrostatic, and nanomechanical properties of single and few-layer MoS2, distinguishing them from substrate interaction effects to better understand their fundamental behaviors.

Contribution

It introduces a method to decouple intrinsic properties of MoS2 from substrate effects, providing clearer insights into their true nanomechanical and electrostatic characteristics.

Findings

Decoupled intrinsic optical and electrostatic effects from substrate influences.

Identified differences between monolayer and few-layer MoS2 properties.

Enhanced understanding of MoS2's fundamental properties for device applications.

Abstract

We have decoupled the intrinsic optical and electrostatic effects arising in monolayer and few-layer molybdenum disulphide from those influenced by the flake-substrate interaction.
