The properties of Van der Waals heterostructures are determined by the twist angle and the interface between adjacent layers as well as their polytype and stacking. Here we describe the use of spectroscopic Low Energy Electron Microscopy (LEEM) and micro Low Energy Electron Diffraction ({mu}LEED) methods to measure these properties locally. We present results on a MoS$_{2}$/hBN heterostructure, but the methods are applicable to other materials. Diffraction spot analysis is used to assess the benefits of using hBN as a substrate. In addition, by making use of the broken rotational symmetry of the lattice, we determine the cleaving history of the MoS$_{2}$ flake, i.e., which layer stems from where in the bulk.

In van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures formed by stacking two monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides, multiple exciton resonances with highly tunable properties are formed and subject to both vertical and lateral confinement. We investigate
how a unique control knob, the twist angle between the two monolayers, can be used to control the exciton dynamics. We observe that the interlayer exciton lifetimes in $text{MoSe}_{text{2}}$/$text{WSe}_{text{2}}$ twisted bilayers (TBLs) change by one order of magnitude when the twist angle is varied from 1$^circ$ to 3.5$^circ$. Using a low-energy continuum model, we theoretically separate two leading mechanisms that influence interlayer exciton radiative lifetimes. The shift to indirect transitions in the momentum space with an increasing twist angle and the energy modulation from the moire potential both have a significant impact on interlayer exciton lifetimes. We further predict distinct temperature dependence of interlayer exciton lifetimes in TBLs with different twist angles, which is partially validated by experiments. While many recent studies have highlighted how the twist angle in a vdW TBL can be used to engineer the ground states and quantum phases due to many-body interaction, our studies explore its role in controlling the dynamics of optically excited states, thus, expanding the conceptual applications of twistronics.
Recent research showed that the rotational degree of freedom in stacking 2D materials yields great changes in the electronic properties. Here we focus on an often overlooked question: are twisted geometries stable and what defines their rotational en
ergy landscape? Our simulations show how epitaxy theory breaks down in these systems and we explain the observed behaviour in terms of an interplay between flexural phonons and the interlayer coupling, governed by Moire superlattice. Our argument applied to the well-studied MoS$_2$/Graphene system rationalize experimental results and could serve as guidance to design twistronics devices.
Magnetic proximity effects are crucial ingredients for engineering spintronic, superconducting, and topological phenomena in heterostructures. Such effects are highly sensitive to the interfacial electronic properties, such as electron wave function
overlap and band alignment. The recent emergence of van der Waals (vdW) magnets enables the possibility of tuning proximity effects via designing heterostructures with atomically clean interfaces. In particular, atomically thin CrI3 exhibits layered antiferromagnetism, where adjacent ferromagnetic monolayers are antiferromagnetically coupled. Exploiting this magnetic structure, we uncovered a layer-resolved magnetic proximity effect in heterostructures formed by monolayer WSe2 and bi/trilayer CrI3. By controlling the individual layer magnetization in CrI3 with a magnetic field, we found that the spin-dependent charge transfer between WSe2 and CrI3 is dominated by the interfacial CrI3 layer, while the proximity exchange field is highly sensitive to the layered magnetic structure as a whole. These properties enabled us to use monolayer WSe2 as a spatially sensitive magnetic sensor to map out layered antiferromagnetic domain structures at zero magnetic field as well as antiferromagnetic/ferromagnetic domains near the spin-flip transition in bilayer CrI3. Our work reveals a new way to control proximity effects and probe interfacial magnetic order via vdW engineering.
We report an experimental study of excitons in a double quantum well van der Waals heterostructure made of atomically thin layers of Mo* and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). The emission of neutral and charged excitons is controlled by gate voltage, te
mperature, and both the helicity and the power of optical excitation.
The electronic and optical properties of monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and van der Waals heterostructures are strongly subject to their dielectric environment. In each layer the field lines of the Coulomb interaction are screened
by the adjacent material, which reduces the single-particle band gap as well as exciton and trion binding energies. By combining an electrostatic model for a dielectric hetero-multi-layered environment with semiconductor many-particle methods, we demonstrate that the electronic and optical properties are sensitive to the interlayer distances on the atomic scale. Spectroscopical measurements in combination with a direct solution of a three-particle Schrodinger equation reveal trion binding energies that correctly predict recently measured interlayer distances.
