Abstract
The monoclinic m-MoO2 shows strong in-plane anisotropy that is essential to design anisotropic nanodevices. However, there is not yet detailed study on the anisotropy of m-MoO2 nanostructures. Here, the in-plane anisotropic Raman spectra and electrical conductivity of single-crystal m-MoO2 nanosheets were investigated systematically for the first time. Angle-resolved polarized Raman spectroscopy (ARPRS) shows distinct dependence on the excitation laser wavelength and sample thickness, demonstrating the robust wavelength-dependent optical absorption, electron-photon/electron-phonon interactions, and anisotropic phonon polarization in m-MoO2 nanosheets. Such results agree well with the semiclassical Placzek model. Moreover, the angle-dependent electrical conductivity of starburst-like m-MoO2 nanosheet devices shows a strong anisotropy with a conductivity ratio (σmax/σmin) of up to 10.1, which is the largest value in the previously reported 2D materials. This work underscores the importance of understanding the in-plane anisotropic light-matter interactions for the application of m-MoO2 nanosheets in anisotropic plasmonics and artificial synapse.
