Transition metal dichalcogenides such as WS2 show exciting promise in electronic and optoelectronic applications. Significant variations in the transport, Raman, and photoluminescence (PL) can be found in the literature, yet it is rarely addressed why this is. In this report, Raman and PL of monolayered WS2 produced via different methods are studied and distinct features that indicate the degree of crystallinity of the material are observed. While the intensity of the LA(M) Raman mode is found to be a useful indicator to assess the crystallinity, PL is drastically more sensitive to the quality of the material than Raman spectroscopy. We also show that even exfoContributing Editor: Lain-Jong Li a) liated crystals, which are usually regarded as Address all correspondence to this author. the most pristine material, can contain large e-mail: [email protected] b) These authors contributed equally to this work. amounts of defects that would not be apparc) This author was an editor of this journal during the review and ent without Raman and PL measurements. decision stage.
