In recent years, new 2D semiconductor materials have shown exotic and exciting electronic or optoelectronic properties with multiple applications. In particular, several interesting mechanisms can hybridize in the same device. We have develop a new probe of these 2D materials through mechanical vibrations with an optoelectromechanical platform. It will have the advantage of being extremely sensitive compared to any other existing solutions, intrinsic, local, and compatible with in-situ measurements of electronics and optoelectronics. In our case, we have used this probe to identify the origin of electronic memristive effects in a suspended MoS2 monolayer. We have demonstrated mechanically that this effect is linked to a local phase transition, for less than 1% of the material area. Also, the experiments and the numerical simulation demonstrate that this transition between the hexagonal (2H) and disordered octahedral (1T’) phases of MoS2 is associated with the presence and diffusion of sulfur vacancies in our samples. In fact, this method is almost universal because it is applicable to many phenomena of condensed matter.
