Rapid visualization of grain boundaries in monolayer MoS2 by multiphoton microscopy

Abstract: Grain boundaries have a major effect on the physical properties of two-dimensional layered materials. Therefore, it is important to develop simple, fast and sensitive characterization methods to visualize grain boundaries. Conventional Raman and photoluminescence methods have been used for detecting grain boundaries; however, these techniques are better suited for detection of grain boundaries with a large crystal axis rotation between neighbouring grains. Here we show rapid visualization of grain boundaries i… Show more

“…Both THG and FWM are originated from the third‐order susceptibility χ (3) . THG has been widely investigated in MoS 2 , WS 2 , WSe 2 ,and MoSe 2 . In contrast to SHG, THG does not require the absence of the inversion symmetry and can be observed both in odd‐ and even‐layers.…”

“…THG is useful in the frequency conversion, as well as the grain boundaries recognition. Karvonen et al demonstrated that the contrast between the boundaries and the grains in THG imaging was much higher than conventional SHG, Raman and PL mapping, making it a powerful tool in fast and sensitive characterization of 2D materials …”

“…Kumbhakar et al studied the multiphoton absorption properties of hBN by the z ‐scan technique, and later reported a significant enhancement in hBN–graphene oxide heterostructure compared with the bare hBN . Second‐harmonic generation (SHG) is a typical second‐order nonlinear optical process, which has been widely observed in 2D materials, such as noncentrosymmetric TMDCs and hBN, while for BP, SHG is absent due to its centrosymmetric crystal structure. Only third‐order nonlinearity is permitted, such as third‐harmonic generation (THG) and four wave mixing (FWM).…”

“…In addition to biomedical imaging, MPM can be used in material characterization. Two-and three-photon imaging of thin layers of graphene [6], black phosphorous [7], and molybdenum disulphide [8] illustrates properties of these thin layers that have not been seen before. Electro-optical polymer based devices are another area of study which has been taking advantage of the MPM as a powerful characterization method [9].…”
