From: Laser Thinning and Patterning of MoS2 with Layer-by-Layer Precision

Simulation of the 3D temperature field evolution and distribution during laser thinning. (a) Temperature (of the top layer) evolution with time. (b) Spatial distribution of temperature (of the top layer). (c) Spatial distribution of temperature (of the top, 6th, 8th, 9th and bottom layer). The laser power is 2.5 mW. Insets: temperature fields of the top and bottom layers. (d) Number of layer as a function of laser power and the thermal conductivity between MoS2 and substrate. We show the latter may be an additional engineering parameter in practical implementations.
