Abstract

A simple approach is developed to identify the layer number of 2D MoS ₂ sheets. By using an optical imaging method combined with image analysis software, a high-contrast image of the MoS ₂ sheets can be extracted from the red (R) channel of the color optical microscopy image. The value of the intensity difference in the grayscale image of the R channel between MoS ₂ sheets (1-3 layers) and the SiO ₂ substrate can be used to identify the layer number of the sheet.
