Here we report the successful growth of MoSe2 on single layer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) on Ru(0001) substrate by using molecular beam epitaxy. We investigated the electronic structures of MoSe2 using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. Surprisingly, we found that the quasi-particle gap of the MoSe2 on hBN/Ru is about 0.25 eV smaller than those on graphene or graphite substrates. We attribute this result to the strong interaction between hBN/Ru which causes residual metallic screening from the substrate. The surface of MoSe2 exhibits Moire pattern that replicates the Moire pattern of hBN/Ru. In addition, the electronic structure and the work function of MoSe2 are modulated electrostatically with an amplitude of ~ 0.13 eV. Most interestingly, this electrostatic modulation is spatially in phase with the Moire pattern of hBN on Ru(0001) whose surface also exhibits a work function modulation of the same amplitude.

Silicon oxide can be formed in a crystalline form, when prepared on a metallic substrate. It is a candidate support catalyst and possibly the ultimately-thin version of a dielectric host material for two-dimensional materials (2D) and heterostructure
s. We determine the atomic structure and chemical bonding of the ultimately thin version of the oxide, epitaxially grown on Ru(0001). In particular, we establish the existence of two sub-lattices defined by metal-oxygen-silicon bridges involving inequivalent substrate sites. We further discover four electronic bands below Fermi level, at high binding energies, two of them forming a Dirac cone at K point, and two others forming semi-flat bands. While the latter two correspond to hybridized states between the oxide and the metal, the former relate to the topmost silicon-oxygen plane, which is not directly coupled to the substrate. Our analysis is based on high resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, and density functional theory calculations.
Silicene monolayers grown on Ag(111) surfaces demonstrate a band gap that is tunable by oxygen adatoms from semimetallic to semiconducting type. By using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy, it is found that the adsorption configurations an
d amounts of oxygen adatoms on the silicene surface are critical for band-gap engineering, which is dominated by different buckled structures in R13xR13, 4x4, and 2R3x2R3 silicene layers. The Si-O-Si bonds are the most energy-favored species formed on R13xR13, 4x4, and 2R3x2R3 structures under oxidation, which is verified by in-situ Raman spectroscopy as well as first-principles calculations. The silicene monolayers retain their structures when fully covered by oxygen adatoms. Our work demonstrates the feasibility of tuning the band gap of silicene with oxygen adatoms, which, in turn, expands the base of available two-dimensional electronic materials for devices with properties that is hardly achieved with graphene oxide.
We report on the charge spill-out and work function of epitaxial few-layer graphene on 6H-SiC(0001). Experiments from high-resolution, energy-filtered X-ray photoelectron emission microscopy (XPEEM) are combined with ab initio Density Functional Theo
ry calculations using a relaxed interface model. Work function values obtained from theory and experiments are in qualitative agreement, reproducing the previously observed trend of increasing work function with each additional graphene plane. Electrons transfer at the SiC/graphene interface through a buffer layer causes an interface dipole moment which is at the origin of the graphene work function modulation. The total charge transfer is independent of the number of graphene layers, and is consistent with the constant binding energy of the SiC component of the C 1s core-level measured by XPEEM. Charge leakage into vacuum depends on the number of graphene layers explaining why the experimental, layer-dependent C 1s-graphene core-level binding energy shift does not rigidly follow that of the work function. Thus, a combination of charge transfer at the SiC/graphene interface and charge spill-out into vacuum resolves the apparent discrepancy between the experimental work function and C1s binding energy.
Sub-angstrom Co coverage, being deposited on BiSbTeSe2(0001) surface at 200-330 C, opens a band gap at the Dirac point, with the shift of the Dirac point position caused by RT adsorbate pre-deposition. Temperature dependent measurements in 15-150 K r
ange have shown no band gap width change. This fact indicates the nonmagnetic nature of the gap which may be attributed to the chemical hybridization of surface states upon the introduction of Co adatoms, which decrease crystallographic symmetry and eliminate topological protection of the surface states.
The electronic structure of a single layer graphene on Ru(0001) is compared with that of a single layer hexagonal boron nitride nanomesh on Ru(0001). Both are corrugated sp2 networks and display a pi-band gap at the K point of their 1 x 1 Brillouin z
one. Graphene has a distinct Fermi surface which indicates that 0.1 electrons are transferred per 1 x 1 unit cell. Photoemission from adsorbed xenon identifies two distinct Xe 5p1/2 lines, separated by 240 meV, which reveals a corrugated electrostatic potential energy surface. These two Xe species are related to the topography of the system and have different desorption energies.
