Measurement of the optical dielectric function of monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides: MoS 2 , Mo S e 2 , WS 2 , and WS e 2

This chapter presents the complex in-plane dielectric function from 1.5 to 3 eV for monolayers of four transition metal dichalcogenides: MoSe2, WSe2, MoS2, and WS2. The results were obtained from optical reflection spectra using a Kramers–Kronig constrained variational analysis. From the inferred dielectric functions, we obtain the absolute absorbance of the monolayers. We also provide a comparison of the dielectric function for the monolayers with the respective bulk materials [1].
