In modern two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene-based systems and atomically-thin transition-metal dichalcogenides, the interplay of strong electronic correlations, tunable moir\'e superlattices, and nontrivial band topology has…
Crystal fields occur due to a potential difference between chemically different atomic species. In Van-der-Waals heterostructures such fields are naturally present perpendicular to the planes. It has been realized recently that twisted…
Low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM) is a surface science method that works primarily in the UHV environment. It provides information complementary to the other established techniques: it extends the limited view of scanning probe…

Improving the film quality in the synthesis of large-area hexagonal boron nitride films (h-BN) for two-dimensional material devices remains a great challenge. The measurement of electrical breakdown dielectric strength (EBD) is one of the…
Volume Free Electron Laser (VFEL) was proposed in [1-4]. It can operate in the wide spectral range from microwaves to X-rays. To simulate the processes which take place in VFEL the superradiance from a short electron pulse moving in a…
Many fundamental processes of structural changes at surfaces occur on a pico- or femtosecond time scale. In order to study such ultra-fast processes, we have combined modern surface science techniques with fs-laser pulses in a pump-probe…
