Probing the Bandstructure of MoS2 on Au(111) using Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy — •Nils Krane, Christian Lotze, and Katharina J. Franke — Freie Universtät Berlin, Berlin, Germany

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMCD) are two-dimensional materials with a natural band gap, making them interesting as sensors, solar cells or LEDs. Single layer molybdenum disulfide is especially interesting, since it provides a direct band gap [1] and a strong spin-splitting of the valence band at the K-point.

Here we grow MoS2 epitaxially on a Au(111) surface as described in [2] and investigate it with a combined STM/AFM at low temperatures. Since STS measures the projected LDOS without information of the parallel momentum k in the Brillouin-Zone, it is not possible to assign a band gap to the K- or Γ-point. To get an insight into the band structure of MoS2, we measure the decay length κ of the tunneling current, which depends on k [3]. We find a strong spatial dependence of κ. We ascribe this to the Moiré reconstruction of MoS2 on Au(111), which differs between fcp- and hcp-stacking at the hollow sides. Furthermore, we investigate the band structure of quasi freestanding MoS2.
