Typical Raman spectra of transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) display two prominent peaks, ${E}_{2g}$ and ${A}_{1g}$, that are well separated from each other. We find that these modes are degenerate in bulk WSe${}_{2}$ yielding one single Raman peak in contrast to other TMDs. As the dimensionality is lowered, the observed peak splits …
