The presentation delves into the nuanced conductivity of two-dimensional MoS2, a prominent transition metal dichalgogenide, by examining its response to doping-induced variations. In particular, we explore the intriguing phenomena of polarons, quasiparticles that emerge from the interplay of electrons with lattice vibrations. Employing advanced techniques such as scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, we unveil the manifestation of polaronic bound states in metallic 2D MoS2, shedding light on their stability and formation dynamics. The investigation is enriched by density-functional theory calculations with a recently developed electron-lattice downfolding technique, emphasizing the role of renormalized M-phonons in shaping the electronic landscape of metallic MoS2. This synthesis of experimental insights and theoretical perspectives offers a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between electrons and phonons in 2D MoS2.
