We present a novel methodology to synthesize two-dimensional (2D) lateral heterostructures of graphene and MoS2 sheets with molecular carbon nanomembranes (CNMs), which is based on electron beam induced stitching. Monolayers of graphene and MoS2 were grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on copper and SiO2 substrates, respectively, transferred onto gold/mica substrates and patterned by electron beam lithography or photolithography. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of aromatic thiols were grown on the gold film in the areas where the 2D materials were not present. An irradiation with a low energy electron beam was employed to convert the SAMs into CNMs and simultaneously stitching the CNM edges to the edges of graphene and MoS2, therewith forming a heterogeneous but continuous film composed of two different materials. The formed lateral heterostructures possess a high mechanical stability, enabling their transfer from the gold substrate onto target substrates and even the preparation as freestanding sheets. We characterized the individual steps of this synthesis and the structure of the final heterostructures by complementary analytical techniques including optical microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), helium ion microscopy (HIM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and find that they possess nearly atomically sharp boundaries.

The interface between two different semiconductors is crucial in determining the electronic properties at the heterojunction, therefore novel techniques that can probe these regions are of particular interest. Recently it has been shown that heteroju
nctions of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides have sharp and epitaxial interfaces that can be used to the next generation of flexible and on chip optoelectronic devices. Here, we show that second harmonic generation (SHG) can be used as an optical tool to reveal these atomically sharp interfaces in different lateral heterostructures. We observed an enhancement of the SH intensity at the heterojunctions, and showed that is due to a coherent superposition of the SH emission from each material. This constructive interference pattern reveals a phase difference arising from the distinct second-order susceptibilities of both materials at the interface. Our results demonstrate that SHG microscopy is a sensitive characterization technique to unveil nanometric features in layered materials and their heterostructures.
Diverse parallel stitched two-dimensional heterostructures are synthesized, including metal-semiconductor (graphene-MoS2), semiconductor-semiconductor (WS2-MoS2), and insulator-semiconductor (hBN-MoS2), directly through selective sowing of aromatic m
olecules as the seeds in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Our methodology enables the large-scale fabrication of lateral heterostructures with arbitrary patterns, and clean and precisely aligned interfaces, which offers tremendous potential for its application in integrated circuits.
Focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID) is a direct-write method for the fabrication of nanostructures whose lateral resolution rivals that of advanced electron lithography but is in addition capable of creating complex three-dimensional nan
o-architectures. Over the last decade several new developments in FEBID and focused electron beam induced processing (FEBIP) have led to a growing number of scientific contributions in solid state physics and materials science based on FEBID-specific materials and particular shapes and arrangements of the employed nanostructures. In this review an attempt is made to give a broad overview of these developments and the resulting contributions in various research fields encompassing mesoscopic physics with nanostructured metals at low temperatures, direct-write of superconductors and nano-granular alloys or intermetallic compounds and their applications, the contributions of FEBID to the field of metamaterials, and the application of FEBID structures for sensing of force or strain, dielectric changes or magnetic stray fields. The very recent development of FEBID towards simulation-assisted growth of complex three-dimensional nano-architectures is also covered. In the review particular emphasis is laid on conceptual clarity in the description of the different developments, which is reflected in the mostly schematic nature of the presented figures, as well as in the recurring final sub-sections for each of the main topics discussing the respective challenges and perspectives.
Introduction of a Josephson field effect transistor (JoFET) concept sparked active research on proximity effects in semiconductors. Induced superconductivity and electrostatic control of critical current has been demonstrated in two-dimensional gases
in InAs, graphene and topological insulators, and in one-dimensional systems including quantum spin Hall edges. Recently, interest in superconductor-semiconductor interfaces was renewed by the search for Majorana fermions, which were predicted to reside at the interface. More exotic non-Abelian excitations, such as parafermions (fractional Majorana fermions) or Fibonacci fermions may be formed when fractional quantum Hall edge states interface with superconductivity. In this paper we develop transparent superconducting contacts to high mobility two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in GaAs and demonstrate induced superconductivity across several microns. Supercurrent in a ballistic junction has been observed across 0.6 $mu$m of 2DEG, a regime previously achieved only in point contacts but essential to the formation of well separated non-Abelian states. High critical fields ($>16$ Tesla) in NbN contacts enables investigation of a long-sought regime of an interplay between superconductivity and strongly correlated states in a 2DEG at high magnetic fields.
A poly(styrene-block-methylmethacrylate) diblock copolymer in the hexagonal cylindrical phase has been used as a mask for preparing a periodic gate on top of a Ga[Al]As-heterostructure. A superlattice period of 43 nm could be imposed onto the two-dim
ensional electron gas. Transport measurements show a characteristic positive magnetoresistance around zero magnetic field which we interpret as a signature of electron motion guided by the superlattice potential.
