The epitaxial growth of {111} oriented Au on MoS$_2$ is well documented despite the large lattice mismatch (~8% biaxial strain), and the fact that a Au {001} orientation results in much less elastic strain. An analysis based on density functional and linear elasticity theories reveals that the {111} orientation is stabilized by a combination of favorable surface and interfacial contributions to the energy, and the compliance of the first layer of the MoS$_2$.

The electronic structure of epitaxial single-layer MoS$_2$ on Au(111) is investigated by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, scanning tunnelling spectroscopy, and first principles calculations. While the band dispersion of the supported single
-layer is close to a free-standing layer in the vicinity of the valence band maximum at $bar{K}$ and the calculated electronic band gap on Au(111) is similar to that calculated for the free-standing layer, significant modifications to the band structure are observed at other points of the two-dimensional Brillouin zone: At $bar{Gamma}$, the valence band maximum has a significantly higher binding energy than in the free MoS$_2$ layer and the expected spin-degeneracy of the uppermost valence band at the $bar{M}$ point cannot be observed. These band structure changes are reproduced by the calculations and can be explained by the detailed interaction of the out-of-plane MoS$_2$ orbitals with the substrate.
The local epitaxial growth of pulsed laser deposited Ca$_2$MnO$_4$ films on polycrystalline spark plasma sintered Sr$_2$TiO$_4$ substrates was investigated to determine phase formation and preferred epitaxial orientation relationships ($ORs$) for iso
structural Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) heteroepitaxy, further developing the high-throughput synthetic approach called Combinatorial Substrate Epitaxy (CSE). Both grazing incidence X-ray diffraction and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) patterns of the film and substrate were indexable as single-phase RP-structured compounds. The optimal growth temperature (between 650 $^{circ}$C and 800 $^{circ}$C) was found to be 750 $^{circ}$C using the maximum value of the average image quality (IQ) of the backscattered diffraction patterns. Films grew in a grain-over-grain pattern such that each Ca$_2$MnO$_4$ grain had a single $OR$ with the Sr$_2$TiO$_4$ grain on which it grew. Three primary $ORs$ described 47 out of 49 grain pairs that covered nearly all of RP orientation space. The first $OR$, found for 20 of the 49, was the expected RP unit-cell over RP unit-cell $OR$, expressed as [100][001]$_{film}$||[100][001]$_{sub}$. The other two $ORs$ were essentially rotated from the first by 90$^{circ}$, with one (observed for 17 of 49 pairs) being rotated about the [100] and the other (observed for 10 of 49 pairs) being rotated about the [110] (and not exactly by 90$^{circ}$). These results indicate that only a small number of $ORs$ are needed to describe isostructural RP heteroepitaxy and further demonstrate the potential of CSE in the design and growth of a wide range of complex functional oxides.
To translate electrical into optical signals one uses the modulation of either the refractive index or the absorbance of a material by an electric field. Contemporary electroabsorption modulators (EAMs) employ the quantum confined Stark effect (QCSE)
, the field-induced red-shift and broadening of the strong excitonic absorption resonances characteristic of low-dimensional semiconductor structures. Here we show an unprecedentedly strong transverse electroabsorption (EA) signal in a monolayer of the two-dimensional semiconductor MoS2. The EA spectrum is dominated by an apparent linewidth broadening of around 15% at a modulated voltage of only Vpp = 0.5 V. Contrary to the conventional QCSE, the signal increases linearly with the applied field strength and arises from a linear variation of the distance between the strongly overlapping exciton and trion resonances. The achievable modulation depths exceeding 0.1 dBnm-1 bear the scope for extremely compact, ultrafast, energy-efficient EAMs for integrated photonics, including on-chip optical communication.
The stoichiometric 111 iron-based superconductor, LiFeAs, has attacted great research interest in recent years. For the first time, we have successfully grown LiFeAs thin film by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on SrTiO3(001) substrate, and studied the
interfacial growth behavior by reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope (LT-STM). The effects of substrate temperature and Li/Fe flux ratio were investigated. Uniform LiFeAs film as thin as 3 quintuple-layer (QL) is formed. Superconducting gap appears in LiFeAs films thicker than 4 QL at 4.7 K. When the film is thicker than 13 QL, the superconducting gap determined by the distance between coherence peaks is about 7 meV, close to the value of bulk material. The ex situ transport measurement of thick LiFeAs film shows a sharp superconducting transition around 16 K. The upper critical field, Hc2(0)=13.0 T, is estimated from the temperature dependent magnetoresistance. The precise thickness and quality control of LiFeAs film paves the road of growing similar ultrathin iron arsenide films.
Transition metal dichalcogenides like MoS$_2$, MoSe$_2$, WS$_2$, and WSe$_2$ have attracted enormous interest during recent years. They are van-der-Waals crystals with highly anisotropic properties, which allows exfoliation of individual layers. Thei
r remarkable physical properties make them promising for applications in optoelectronic, spintronic, and valleytronic devices. Phonons are fundamental to many of the underlying physical processes, like carrier and spin relaxation or exciton dynamics. However, experimental data of the complete phonon dispersion relations in these materials is missing. Here we present the phonon dispersion of bulk MoS$_2$ in the high-symmetry directions of the Brillouin zone, determined by inelastic X-ray scattering. Our results underline the two-dimensional nature of MoS$_2$. Supported by first-principles calculations, we determine the phonon displacement patterns, symmetry properties, and scattering intensities. The results will be the basis for future experimental and theoretical work regarding electron-phonon interactions, intervalley scattering, as well as phonons in related 2D materials.
