Table 1 Phonon frequencies (cm−1) in the second-order Raman scattering spectra of monolayer WS2 excited by the 2.33, 2.54, 4.66, and 4.82 eV laser lines. A comparison is given between the experimentally unassigned modes and the calculated second-order phonon spectra at high-symmetry M, K, and Γ points.
