Abstract

The frequency shifts and lattice dynamics to unveil the vibrational properties of platinum diselenide (PtSe2) are investigated using pressure-dependent polarized Raman scattering at room temperature up to 25 GPa. The two phonon modes Eg and A1g display similar hardening trends; both the Raman peak positions and full widths at half-maximum have distinct mutation phenomena under high pressure. Especially, the split Eg mode at 4.3 GPa confirms the change of the lattice symmetry. With the aid of the first-principles calculations, a new pressure stabilization structure C2/m of PtSe2 has been found to be in good agreement with experiments. The band structures calculations reveal that the new phase is a novel type-I Dirac semimetal. The results demonstrate that the pressure-dependent Raman spectra combined with theoretical predictions may open a new window for searching and controlling the phase structure and Dirac cones of two-dimensional materials.
