Abstract

Exposure of few-layer MoS₂, WS₂ and MoSe₂ to high-temperature shock waves causes morphological changes and a significant decrease in the interlayer separation between the (0 0 2) planes, the decrease being greatest in MoSe₂. Raman spectra show softening of both the A1_g and the E2g1 modes initially, followed by a slightly stiffening. Using first-principles density functional theoretical analysis of the response of few-layer MoS₂ to shock waves, we propose that a combination of shear and uniaxial compressive deformation leads to flattening of MoS ₂ sheets which is responsible for the changes in the vibrational spectra.
