Abstract

MoS2 is a highly interesting material system, which exhibits a crossover from an indirect band gap in the bulk crystal to a direct gap for single layers. Here, we perform a direct comparison between large-area MoS2_2 films grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and MoS2_2 flakes prepared by mechanical exfoliation from natural bulk crystal. Raman spectroscopy measurements show differences between the in-plane and out-of-plane phonon mode positions in CVD-grown and exfoliated MoS2_2. Photoluminescence (PL) mapping reveals large regions in the CVD-grown films that emit strong PL at room temperature, and low-temperature PL scans demonstrate a large spectral shift of the A exciton emission as a function of position. Polarization-resolved PL measurements under near-resonant excitation conditions show a strong circular polarization of the PL, corresponding to a valley polarization.
