In situ growth and characterization of single-layer molybdenum disulfide on Au(111) — •Moritz Ewert1,2, Lars Buß1, Jens Falta1,2, and Jan Ingo Flege1,21Institute of Solid State Physics, University of Bremen, Germany — 2MAPEX Center for Materials and Processes, Bremen, Germany

Single-layer (SL) transition metal dichalcogenides are in today’s research focus due to their electronic similarity to graphene as well as owing to their catalytic properties, e. g., in hydrodesulfurization processes.

We have investigated the growth of SL molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) on Au(111) by Mo metal deposition in dimethyldisulfide background using low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM) and microdiffraction (µLEED). In situ investigations at different elevated temperatures reveal that triangular MoS2 islands nucleate and continue to grow in a dendritic mode, extending over several square µm in size. The local structure of the islands was elucidated by analyzing the specular electron reflectivity depending on electron energy measurements (IV-LEEM), confirming the sole existence of SL structures. This finding is corroborated by µLEED, which demonstrates the formation of micron-sized MoS2 SL domains. Furthermore, closer investigation of the mesoscale structure in dark-field LEEM shows that the triangular-shaped structures can be found in two distinct orientations, whose relative abundance has been found to depend on temperature.
