We have developed and characterized the structure and composition of nanometers-thick solid-solution epitaxial layers of (V,Nb) on sapphire (1120), displaying a continuous lateral gradient of composition from one to another pure element. Further covered with an ultrathin pseudomorphic layer of W, these provide a template for the fast combinatorial investigation of any growth or physical property depending of strain.

We have studied the chemical and electronic properties of LaAlO3/SrVO3 ultrathin films by combining hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopy and transport measurements. We compare single SrVO3 (SVO) ultrathin films and SrVO3 buried below a polar LaAlO3
(LAO) thin layer, both epitaxially grown on SrTiO3. While ultrathin films (4 unit cells) of SVO do show insulating behavior over the entire temperature range, the LAO/SVO interface has a resistivity minimum at 250 K. When increasing the SVO layer thickness, the minimum is observed to shift to higher temperatures, but the resistivity stays always smaller than that of comparable SVO single films. Hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopy reveals a surface or interface related V5+ component in the V 2p spectra for SVO films and LAO/SVO heterostructures, respectively, attributed to a strongly oxidized component. This chemical reconstruction is weaker in LAO/SVO heterostructures compared to single SVO films. We show that this dead layer in SVO ultrathin films has to be considered when the film thickness reaches the few unit-cells limit and propose solutions on how to prevent this detrimental effect.
Combining MoS$_2$ monolayers to form multilayers allows to access new functionalities. In this work, we examine the correlation between the stacking order and the interlayer coupling of valence states in MoS$_2$ homobilayer samples grown by chemical
vapor deposition (CVD) and artificially stacked bilayers from CVD monolayers. We show that hole delocalization over the bilayer is allowed in 2H stacking and results in strong interlayer exciton absorption and also in a larger A-B exciton separation as compared to 3R bilayers, where both holes and electrons are confined to the individual layers. Comparing 2H and 3R reflectivity spectra allows to extract an interlayer coupling energy of about $t_perp=49$ meV. Obtaining very similar results for as-grown and artificially stacked bilayers is promising for assembling large area van der Waals structures with CVD material, using interlayer exciton absorption and A-B exciton separation as indicators for interlayer coupling. Beyond DFT calculations including excitonic effects confirm signatures of efficient interlayer coupling for 2H stacking in agreement with our experiments.
In the crystal growth of transition metal dichalcogenides by the Chemical Vapor Transport method (CVT), the choice of the transport agent plays a key role. We have investigated the effect of various chemical elements and compounds on the growth of Ti
Se2, MoSe2, TaS2 and TaSe2 and found that pure I2 is the most suitable for growing TiSe2, whereas transition metal chlorides perform best with Mo- and Ta- chalcogenides. The use of TaCl5 as a transport agent in the CVT process allows to selectively growth either polymorph of TaS2 and TaSe2 and the optimum growth conditions are reported. Moreover, by using TaCl5 and tuning the temperature and the halogen starting ratio, it was possible to grow whiskers of the compounds TaS2, TaSe2, TaTe2, TaS3 and TaSe3.
First principles calculations have been used to investigate the trends on the properties of isolated 3d transition metal impurities (from Sc to Cu) in diamond. Those impurities have small formation energies in the substitutional or double semi-vacanc
y sites, and large energies in the interstitial one. Going from Sc to Cu, the 3d-related energy levels in the bandgap move from the top of the bandgap toward the valence band in all three sites. Trends in electronic properties and transition energies of the impurities, in the substitutional or interstitial sites, are well described by a simple microscopic model considering the electronic occupation of the 3d-related levels. On the other hand, for the impurities in the double semi-vacancy site, there is a weak interaction between the divacancy- and the 3d-related orbitals, resulting in in vacancy- and 3d-related levels in the materials bandgap.
We report that graphene films with thickness ranging from 1 to 7 layers can be controllably synthesized on the surface of polycrystalline copper by a chemical vapour deposition method. The number of layers of graphene is controlled precisely by regul
ating the flow ratio of CH4 and H2, the reaction pressure, the temperature and the reaction time. The synthesized graphene films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. In addition, the graphene films transferred from copper to other substrates are found to have a good optical transmittance that makes them suitable for transparent conductive materials.
