Popis: The ongoing shrinkage in the size of two-dimensional (2D) electronic circuitry results in high power densities during device operation, which could cause a significant temperature rise within 2D channels. One challenge in Raman thermometry of 2D materials is that the commonly used high-frequency modes do not precisely represent the temperature rise in some 2D materials because of peak broadening and intensity weakening at elevated temperatures. In this work, we show that a low-frequency E2g2 shear mode can be used to accurately extract temperature and measure thermal boundary conductance (TBC) in back-gated tungsten diselenide (WSe2) field-effect transistors, whereas the high-frequency peaks (E2g1 and A1g) fail to provide reliable thermal information. Our calculations indicate that the broadening of high-frequency Raman-active modes is primarily driven by anharmonic decay into pairs of longitudinal acoustic phonons, resulting in a weak coupling with out-of-plane flexural acoustic phonons that are responsi...
