要旨

At ambient conditions, the lattice structure of supported ultrathin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) can be effectively modified by a substrate. When compressed, the effect of substrate is far from settled. In this study, the effects of an Si substrate on the lattice structures of compressed monolayer and multilayer ReS2 were investigated by performing high-pressure Raman measurements and first-principle calculations. Our results revealed substrate-affected strain in compressed monolayer ReS2, which resulted in a distorted unit with S atoms sliding within a single layer. This was evidenced by the split of the Ag-5 mode above 1.7 GPa. However, unlike that of the monolayer ReS2, the Ag-5 mode of multilayer ReS2 remained symmetric up to 4.2 GPa, which can be due to weaker substrate-affected strain in compressed multilayer ReS2 when compared with that in the monolayer ReS2. The noticeably different high-pressure responses between multilayer ReS2 and monolayer ReS2 can be due to the effect of interlayer interactions, and the split of the Ag-5 mode provides a clear indication of the prominent strain in compressed supported ReS2.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
