Phosphorene is a new family member of two-dimensional materials. We observed strong and highly layer-dependent photoluminescence in few-layer phosphorene (two to five layers). The results confirmed the theoretical prediction that has direct layer-sensitive band gap. also demonstrated more sensitive temperature modulation than graphene MoS2 Raman scattering. anisotropic response enabled us use an optical method quickly determine crystalline orientation without tunneling electron microscopy or...
