There is immense interest in how the local environment influences the electronic structure of materials at the single layer limit. We characterize moire induced spatial variations in the electronic structure of in-situ grown monolayer V2S3 on Au(111) by means of low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. We observe a long-range modulation of the integrated local density of states (LDOS), and quantify this modulation with respect to the moire superstructure for multiple orientations of the monolayer with respect to the substrate. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy reveals a prominent peak in the LDOS, which is shifted in energy at different points of the moire superstructure. Comparing ab initio calculations with angle-resolved photoemission, we are able to attribute this peak to bands that exhibit a large out-of-plane d-orbital character. This suggests that the moire driven variations in the measured density of states is driven by a periodic modulation of the monolayer-substrate hybridization.

Recent experiments have found that monolayer 1H-TaS2 grown on Au(111) lacks the charge density wave (CDW) instability exhibited by bulk 2H-TaS2. Additionally, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements suggest that the monolayer becomes s
trongly electron doped by the substrate. While density functional theory (DFT) calculations have shown that electron doping can suppress the CDW instability in monolayer 1H-TaS2, it has been suggested that the actual charge transfer from the substrate may be much smaller than the apparent doping deduced from photoemission data. We present DFT calculations of monolayer 1H-TaS2 on Au(111) to explore substrate effects beyond doping. We find that the CDW instability is suppressed primarily by strong S-Au interactions rather than by doping. The S-Au interaction results in a structural distortion of the TaS2 monolayer characterized by both lateral and out-of-plane atomic displacements and a 7 x 7 periodicity dictated by the commensurate interface with Au. Simulated STM images of this 7 x 7 distorted structure are consistent with experimental STM images. In contrast, we find a robust 3 x 3 CDW phase in monolayer 1H-TaS2 on a graphene substrate with which there is minimal interaction.
We have investigated the atomic and electronic structure of the ($sqrt{3}times sqrt{3}$)$R30^{circ}$ SnAu$_2$/Au(111) surface alloy. Low energy electron diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy measurements show that the native herringbone recon
struction of bare Au(111) surface remains intact after formation of a long range ordered ($sqrt{3}times sqrt{3}$)$R30^{circ}$ SnAu$_2$2/Au(111) surface alloy. Angle-resolved photoemission and two-photon photoemission spectroscopy techniques reveal Rashba-type spin-split bands in the occupied valence band with comparable momentum space splitting as observed for the Au(111) surface state, but with a hole-like parabolic dispersion. Our experimental findings are compared with density functional theory (DFT) calculation that fully support our experimental findings. Taking advantage of the good agreement between our DFT calculations and the experimental results, we are able to extract that the occupied Sn-Au hybrid band is of (s, d)-orbital character while the unoccupied Sn-Au hybrid bands are of (p, d)-orbital character. Hence, we can conclude that the Rashba-type spin splitting of the hole-like Sn-Au hybrid surface state is caused by the significant mixing of Au d- to Sn s-states in conjunction with the strong atomic spin-orbit coupling of Au, i.e., of the substrate.
Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy have been applied to study the intercalation process of silver underneath a monolayer of graphite (MG) on Ni(111). The room-temperature deposition of silver on top of MG/Ni(111
) system leads to the islands-like growth of Ag on top of the MG. Annealing of the as-deposited system at temperature of 350-450 C results in the intercalation of about 1-2 ML of Ag underneath MG on Ni(111) independently of the thickness of pre-deposited Ag film (3-100 A). The intercalation of Ag is followed by a shift of the graphite-derived valence band states towards energies which are slightly larger than ones characteristic for pristine graphite. This observation is understood in terms of a weakening of chemical bonding between the MG and the substrate in the MG/Ag/Ni(111) system with a small MG/Ni(111) covalent contribution to this interaction.
Surface-bound porphyrins are promising candidates for molecular switches, electronics and spintronics. Here, we studied the structural and the electronic properties of Fe-tetra-pyridil-porphyrin adsorbed on Au(111) in the monolayer regime. We combine
d scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy, ultraviolet photoemission, and two-photon photoemission to determine the energy levels of the frontier molecular orbitals. We also resolved an excitonic state with a binding energy of 420 meV, which allowed us to compare the electronic transport gap with the optical gap.
Stanene (single-layer grey tin), with an electronic structure akin to that of graphene but exhibiting a much larger spin-orbit gap, offers a promising platform for room-temperature electronics based on the quantum spin Hall (QSH) effect. This materia
l has received much theoretical attention, but a suitable substrate for stanene growth that results in an overall gapped electronic structure has been elusive; a sizable gap is necessary for room-temperature applications. Here, we report a study of stanene epitaxially grown on the (111)B-face of indium antimonide (InSb). Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements reveal a gap of 0.44 eV, in agreement with our first-principles calculations. The results indicate that stanene on InSb(111) is a strong contender for electronic QSH applications.
