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…

We investigate domain formation and local morphology of thin films of $\alpha$-sexithiophene ($\alpha$-6T) on Au(100) beyond monolayer coverage by combining high resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments with electronic…

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides MX2 (M = Mo, W, X = S, Se, Te) attracts enormous research interests in recent years. Its 2H phase possesses an indirect to direct bandgap transition in 2D limit, and thus shows great…

Vanadium dioxide with metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) that is triggered by heat, current or light is a promising material for modern active THz/mid-IR metasurfaces and all-optical big data processing systems. Multilayer VO2-based active…

Despite its interest for CMOS applications, Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) of GeO$_{2}$ thin films, by itself or in combination with SiO$_{2}$, has not been widely investigated yet. Here we report the ALD growth of SiO$_{2}$/GeO$_{2}$…

Molecular beam epitaxy is used to grow TiSe2 ultrathin films on graphitized SiC(0001) substrate. TiSe2films proceed via a nearly layer-by-layer growth mode and exhibit two dominant types of defects, identified as Se vacancy and…

We investigate atomic and electronic structures of monolayer 1T-TaSe2 using density functional theory calculations. Monolayers of 1T-TaSe2 were recently grown on graphene substrates and suggested as an intriguing Mott insulator [Nat. Phys.…

In a recent publication [2D Materials, 8, 045033 (2021), arXiv:2103.11403], it was reported that the growth of a monolayer PdTe$_2$ in ultra-high vacuum could be achieved by deposition of tellurium on a palladium (111) crystal surface and…

Growth, electronic and magnetic properties of $\gamma'$-Fe$_{4}$N atomic layers on Cu(001) are studied by scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy and x-ray absorption spectroscopy/magnetic circular dichroism. A continuous film of ordered…

An Fe/Au monatomic multilayer, consisting of alternating single Fe and Au layers, has been studied by means of the self-consistent full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method. We show by total energy minimization that this…

Magnetic two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have attracted a lot of attention because modern preparation techniques are capable of providing single crystal films of these materials with precise control of thickness down to the single-layer…

The stability of interfaces and the mechanisms of thin film growth on semiconductors are issues of central importance in electronic devices. These issues can only be understood through detailed study of the relevant microscopic processes.…

The growth of magnesium on ruthenium has been studied by low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). In LEEM, a layer-by-layer growth is observed except in the first monolayer, where the completion of the…

We report the growth of aluminum (111) thin film by atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique with dimethylethylaminealane (DMEAA) as a precursor. It is found that the metallic underlayer is essential to grow uniform aluminum films by DMEAA…

A mean field method to study heteroepitaxial thin film growth is applied to growth, intermixing and surface reconstructions of $Au$ on $Ag(110)$. The results are in accordance with experimentally observed ``burrowing'' at submonolayer…

Ultrathin (111)-oriented polar iron oxide films were grown on a Pt(111) single crystal either by the reactive deposition of iron or oxidation of metallic iron monolayers. These films were characterized using low energy electron diffraction,…

We investigated the electronic structure of monolayer VTe2 grown on bilayer graphene by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). We found that monolayer VTe2 takes the octahedral 1T structure in contrast to the monoclinic one in…

The chemical mixing at the Fe-on-Ti and Ti-on-Fe, i.e. the bottom and top interfaces of Fe in atomically deposited layers, were studied experimentally and by molecular dynamics simulations of the layer growth. The basic structure and…

The growth mode, magnetic and magneto-optical properties of epitaxial Au/Co/Au(111) ultrathin trilayers grown by pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) under ultra-high vacuum are presented. Sapphire wafers buffered with a single-crystalline Mo(110)…

We performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy studies on a series of FeTe$_{1-x}$Se$_{x}$ monolayer films grown on SrTiO$_{3}$. The superconductivity of the films is robust and rather insensitive to the variations of the band…
