32. Pellets were prepared with very modest pressure, so we do not anticipate that the density will approach that of a single crystal as it would if high pressures were employed.

38. LO-TO splitting is a specific feature of a polar material and represents a measure of coupling with the electric field screened by the electrons.

41. This indicates a slight surface orientation of the platelets in the pressed pellet samples, as anticipated.
42. An independent x-ray measurement verified this estimate of orientation.
43. This assumption is not strictly true. TEM images show that the nanoparticles can have a few "corners," although for practical purposes, neglect of corners and the hierarchy of length scales in these MoS2 nanoparticles is a reasonable assumption.

48. The depolarization factor for anisotropic materials was given by Landau (Ref.).
49. Based on our assumption that the interlayer polarizability of IF is the same as 2H, ε A2u (∞) =6.2 for IF. Then using Eq. 4 and fitting result ε̄ (∞) =5.6 of IF, we got ε E1u (∞) =8.3, which were shown in Table 1.
