Abstract
A simple, non-destructive, and convenient method using Raman spectroscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy for extracting the absorption coefficient of MoS 2 is presented. The attenuation of the substrate Raman signal intensity due to the MoS 2 overlayer is found to be dependent on the MoS 2 film thickness estimated from the AFM measurements. Using the light attenuation model from the measurements, the experimentally extracted absorption coefficient of the thin MoS 2 flakes is determined to be 2.8 × 10 6 cm −1 . This simple technique is capable of estimating the absorption coefficient of other two-dimensional layered materials.
