Femtosecond laser ablation and fragmentation in liquids proved to be effective substrate- and additive-free methods for synthesis of stable, chemically pure colloids of transition metal dichalcogenide nanoparticles, which gained much attention due to their high refractive index and excitonic transitions in visible range. Taking into account that specific nanoparticles properties (i.e., crystallinity, average size) are required in various applications such as theranostics, Mie-tronics, SERS, the understanding of synthesis methods differences is crucially important. Here, we perform a comparative study of femtosecond laser ablation and fragmentation in liquid and reveal distinct features of both methods using a WSe&sub(2) crystal for tests. Although ablation and fragmentation are often considered as quite close techniques, we show the resulting nanoparticles are (poly)crystalline or amorphous with different size distributions. Moreover, it turned out that the femtosecond fragmentation outputs two types of nanoparticles – WSe&sub(2) and Se – at long fragmentation times. We demonstrate that WSe&sub(2) NPs give a SERS signal an order of magnitude stronger than flakes, which underscores the importance of material design for enhancing SERS sensitivity. Our results will be helpful for a broad optical and chemical communities and contribute to the growing understanding of layered materials’ role in plasmon-free SERS.
