We perform classical molecular dynamics simulations to examine the intrinsic energy dissipation in single-layer MoS$_{2}$ nanoresonators, where a point of emphasis is to compare its dissipation characteristics with those of single-layer graphene. Our key finding is that MoS$_{2}$ nanoresonators exhibit significantly lower energy dissipation, and thus higher quality (Q)-factors by at least a factor of four below room temperature, than graphene. Furthermore, this high Q-factor endows MoS$_{2}$ nanoresonators with a higher figure of merit, defined as frequency times Q-factor, despite a resonant frequency that is $50%$ smaller than graphene for the same size. By utilizing arguments from phonon-phonon scattering theory, we show that this reduced energy dissipation is enabled by the large energy gap in the phonon dispersion of MoS$_{2}$, which separates the acoustic phonon branches from the optical phonon branches, leading to a preserving mechanism for the resonant oscillation of MoS$_{2}$ nanoresonators. We further investigate the effects of tensile mechanical strain and nonlinear actuation on the Q-factors, where the tensile strain is found to counteract the reductions in Q-factor that occur with higher actuation amplitudes. Overall, our simulations illustrate the potential utility of MoS$_{2}$ for high frequency sensing and actuation applications.
Hot-Carrier Cooling in High-Quality Graphene is Intrinsically Limited by Optical Phonons
许多有前途的光电子器件，如宽带光电探测器、非线性频率转换器和用于数据通信系统的构建块，都利用石墨烯中的光激发载流子。对于这些系统，它是必不可少的理解，并最终控制，光致热载流子分布的冷却动力学。然而，仍然有一个积极的辩论不同的机制，有助于热载体冷却。特别是，最终限制冷却动力学的内在冷却机制仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。在这里，我们通过研究两个技术相关的系统来解决这个问题，这两个系统由迁移率> 10，000 cm $^2$高质量石墨烯和不能有效吸收石墨烯电子热的环境组成：WSe $^{-1}$封装的石墨烯和悬浮的石墨烯。我们在室温下使用超快泵浦-探测光谱研究了这两种高质量石墨烯系统的冷却动力学。在这些系统中，通过无序辅助的声学声子散射和向环境的面外热传递进行冷却的效率相对较低，预计冷却时间为数十皮秒。然而，我们观察到更快的冷却，在几皮秒的时间尺度上。我们把这归因于一种内在的冷却机制，在热载流子分布中具有足够动能的载流子发射光学声子。在声子发射期间，电子系统不断地再热化，重新产生具有足够能量的载流子以发射光学声子。我们开发了一个分析模型，解释了所观察到的动态，冷却最终受到限制的光-声声子耦合。这些对石墨烯中热载流子本征冷却机制的基本认识将对石墨烯基光电子器件的发展起到关键的指导作用。
