Abstract
Terahertz (THz) time-domain emission spectroscopy was performed on layered 2H-MoSe 2 and 2H-WSe 2. The THz emission shows an initial cycle attributed to surge currents and is followed by oscillations attributed to coherent interlayer phonon modes. To obtain the frequencies of the interlayer vibrations, an analysis of the THz emission waveforms was performed, separating the two contributions to the total waveform. Results of the fitting show several vibrational modes in the range of 5.87–32.75 cm − 1 for the samples, attributed to infrared-active interlayer shear and breathing modes. This study demonstrates that THz emission spectroscopy provides a means of observing these low-frequency vibrational modes in layered materials.
