Observation of Strong Interlayer Coupling in MoS2/WS2 Heterostructures
Epitaxial growth of A-A and A-B stacking MoS2 on WS2 via a two-step chemical vapor deposition method is reported. These epitaxial heterostructures show an atomic clean interface and a strong interlayer coupling, as evidenced by systematic characterization. Low-frequency Raman breathing and shear modes are observed in commensurate stacking bi-layers for the first time; these can serve as persuasive fingerprints for interfacial quality and stacking configurations.
