The nucleation and growth of single-layer molybdenum disulfide single domain islands is investigated by in situ low-energy electron microscopy. We study the growth of micron-sized flakes and the correlated flattening process of the gold surface for three different elevated temperatures. Furthermore, the influence of surface step edges on the molybdenum disulfide growth process is revealed. We show that both island and underlying terrace grow simultaneously by pushing the surface step in the expansion process. Our findings point to an optimized growth procedure allowing for step-free single-domain single-layer islands of several micrometers in size, which is likely transferable to other transition metal dichalcogenides.

We present a complete characterisation at the nanoscale of the growth and structure of single-layer tungsten disulfide (WS$_2$) epitaxially grown on Au(111). Following the growth process in real time with fast x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, we obt
ain a singly-oriented layer by choosing the proper W evaporation rate and substrate temperature during the growth. Information about the morphology, size and layer stacking of the WS$_2$ layer were achieved by employing x-ray photoelectron diffraction and low-energy electron microscopy. The strong spin splitting in the valence band of WS$_2$ coupled with the single-orientation character of the layer make this material the ideal candidate for the exploitation of the spin and valley degrees of freedom.
We report direct measurements via angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) of the electronic dispersion of single-layer CoO$_2$. The Fermi contour consists of a large hole pocket centered at the $overline{Gamma}$ point. To interpret the ARPE
S results, we use density functional theory (DFT) in combination with the multi-orbital Gutzwiller Approximation (DFT+GA), basing our calculations on crystalline structure parameters derived from x-ray photoelectron diffraction and low-energy electron diffraction. Our calculations are in good agreement with the measured dispersion. We conclude that the material is a moderately correlated metal. We also discuss substrate effects, and the influence of hydroxylation on the CoO$_2$ single-layer electronic structure.
The spin structure of the valence and conduction bands at the $overline{text{K}}$ and $overline{text{K}}$ valleys of single-layer WS$_2$ on Au(111) is determined by spin- and angle-resolved photoemission and inverse photoemission. The bands confining
the direct band gap of 1.98 eV are out-of-plane spin polarized with spin-dependent energy splittings of 417 meV in the valence band and 16 meV in the conduction band. The sequence of the spin-split bands is the same in the valence and in the conduction bands and opposite at the $overline{text{K}}$ and the $overline{text{K}}$ high-symmetry points. The first observation explains dark excitons discussed in optical experiments, the latter points to coupled spin and valley physics in electron transport. The experimentally observed band dispersions are discussed along with band structure calculations for a freestanding single layer and for a single layer on Au(111).
The electron-phonon coupling strength in the spin-split valence band maximum of single-layer MoS$_2$ is studied using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory-based calculations. Values of the electron-phonon coupling p
arameter $lambda$ are obtained by measuring the linewidth of the spin-split bands as a function of temperature and fitting the data points using a Debye model. The experimental values of $lambda$ for the upper and lower spin-split bands at K are found to be 0.05 and 0.32, respectively, in excellent agreement with the calculated values for a free-standing single-layer MoS$_2$. The results are discussed in the context of spin and phase-space restricted scattering channels, as reported earlier for single-layer WS$_2$ on Au(111). The fact that the absolute valence band maximum in single-layer MoS$_2$ at K is almost degenerate with the local valence band maximum at $Gamma$ can potentially be used to tune the strength of the electron-phonon interaction in this material.
We present a photoluminescence study of freestanding and Si/SiO2 supported single- and few-layer MoS2. The single-layer exciton peak (A) is only observed in freestanding MoS2. The photoluminescence of supported single-layer MoS2 is instead originatin
g from the A- (trion) peak as the MoS2 is n-type doped from the substrate. In bilayer MoS2, the van der Waals interaction with the substrate is decreasing the indirect band gap energy by up to ~ 80 meV. Furthermore, the photoluminescence spectra of suspended MoS2 can be influenced by interference effects.
