Thermal Conductivities and Interfacial Thermal Conductance of 1- to 3-Layer WSe$_2$

Abstract: Atomically thin materials such as graphene and semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides have attracted extensive interest in recent years, motivating investigation into multiple properties. In this work, we used the opto thermal Raman technique to measure the thermal transport properties of a popular TMDC material WSe$_2$, in single atomic layer, bilayer, and trilayer forms.
