Geometric progress in the thickness of exfoliated van der Waals crystals on the example of MoS2

To obtain molecularly thin flakes via mechanical exfoliation from a bulk layered crystal, the process should be repeated multiple times, but the mathematical principle behind this phenomenon remains unknown. In this paper, we show how the thickness of the MoS2 flake changes with subsequent cleavages...
