Interlayer tunneling in graphite mesa-type structures is studied at a strong in-plane magnetic field $H$ up to 55 T and low temperature $T=1.4$ K. The tunneling spectrum $dI/dV$ vs. $V$ has a pronounced peak at a finite voltage $V_0$. The peak position $V_0$ increases linearly with $H$. To explain the experiment, we develop a theoretical model of graphite in the crossed electric $E$ and magnetic $H$ fields. When the fields satisfy the resonant condition $E=vH$, where $v$ is the velocity of the two-dimensional Dirac electrons in graphene, the wave functions delocalize and give rise to the peak in the tunneling spectrum observed in the experiment.

We perform an optical spectroscopy study to investigate the properties of different artificial MoS$_2$ bi- and trilayer stacks created from individual monolayers by a deterministic transfer process. These twisted bi- and trilayers differ from the com mon 2H stacking in mineral MoS$_2$ in the relative stacking angle of adjacent layers and the interlayer distance. The combination of Raman spectroscopy, second-harmonic-generation microscopy and photoluminescence measurements allows us to determine the degree of interlayer coupling in our samples. We find that even for electronically decoupled artificial structures, which show the same valley polarization degree as the constituent MoS$_2$ monolayers at low temperatures, there is a resonant energy transfer between individual layers which acts as an effective luminescence quenching mechanism.
Magneto-transmission measurements in magnetic fields in the range B=20-60T have been performed to probe the H and K-point Landau level transitions in natural graphite. At the H-point, two series of transitions, whose energy evolves as $sqrt{B}$ are o bserved. A reduced Slonczewski, Weiss and McClure (SWM) model with only two parameters to describe the intra-layer (gamma0) and inter-layer (gamma1) coupling correctly describes all observed transitions. Polarization resolved measurements confirm that the observed apparent splitting of the H-point transitions at high magnetic field cannot be attributed to an asymmetry of the Dirac cone.
Despite interlayer binding energy is one of the most important material properties for graphite, there is still lacking report on its direct experimental determination. In this paper, we present a novel experimental method to directly measure the int erlayer binding energy of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). The obtained values of the binding energy are 0.27($pm $0.02)J/m$^{2}$, which can serve as a benchmark for other theoretical and experimental works.
The ground-state electronic configuration of three coupled bidimensional electron gases has been determined using a variational Hartree-Fock approach, at zero magnetic field. The layers are Coulomb coupled, and tunneling is present between neighborin g layers. In the limit of small separation between layers, the tunneling becomes the dominant energy contribution, while for large distance between layers the physics is driven by the Hartree electrostatic energy. Transition from tunneling to hartree dominated physics is shifted towards larger layer separation values as the total bidimensional density of the trilayers decreases. The inter-layer exchange helps in stabilize a balanced configuration, where the three layers are approximately equally occupied; most of the experiments are performed in the vicinity of this balanced configuration. Several ground-state configurations are consequence of a delicate interplay between tunneling and inter-subband exchange.

We measured the electronic local density of states (LDOS) of graphite surfaces near monoatomic step edges, which consist of either the zigzag or armchair edge, with the scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) techniques. The STM da ta reveal that the $(sqrt{3} times sqrt{3}) R 30^{circ}$ and honeycomb superstructures coexist over a length scale of 3-4 nm from both the edges. By comparing with density-functional derived nonorthogonal tight-binding calculations, we show that the coexistence is due to a slight admixing of the two types of edges at the graphite surfaces. In the STS measurements, a clear peak in the LDOS at negative bias voltages from -100 to -20 mV was observed near the zigzag edges, while such a peak was not observed near the armchair edges. We concluded that this peak corresponds to the graphite edge state theoretically predicted by Fujita textit{et al.} [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. {bf 65}, 1920 (1996)] with a tight-binding model for graphene ribbons. The existence of the edge state only at the zigzag type edge was also confirmed by our first-principles calculations with different edge terminations.
