The excitation of plasmon in metallic nanostructures produces intense and strongly localized near fields that enhance light-matter interaction. Here, we report plasmon–phonon coupling in monolayer WS{sub 2} deposited with gold and silver nanoparticles. The Raman spectra reveal phonon modes arising from the coupling between plasmon and WS{sub 2}. The localized surface plasmon resonance mediated excitation activates the Raman process without requiring defect for momentum conservation. Our results also reveal that the momentum induced by localized surface plasmon resonances losses to WS{sub 2} and the metal atoms adsorption modulated spin–orbit split are the two essential elements for the observed plasmon–phonon coupling. This work will open up exciting prospects for plasmon–phonon coupling in two dimensional systems.
