Popis: WS2 is two-dimensional layered material which the electronic band gap is dependent on the number of layers. From application point of view, the WS2 few layers are good candidate for nano scale flexible electronics . In this study, the WS2 number of layers is modified using liquid phase exfoliation method. The blue shift of WS2 supernatant absorption peaks suggested the change of layer thickness compare to the non-exfoliated one. This supernatant is further deposited on Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) to create a flexible multilayer WS2 thin films. The morphology and the content of the thin film are confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS), respectively. The Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopy show typical characteristics of WS2 multilayers which are dominated by W-S vibrations, exciton contributions, as well as the local defect and strain effects. Furthermore, the electrical characterization reveals the robustness of the WS2 electronic properties again the mechanical stretching. This study highlights the abundant optical and electrical characterization of WS2 multilayer which are applicable for flexible electronic devices.
