Abstract
Graphene and related two-dimensional (2D) materials are attracting huge attention due to their wide-range potential applications. Because large-scale, high-quality 2D crystals are prerequisites for many of the applications, crystal growth of 2D materials has been intensively studied. We have also been conducting research to understand the growth mechanism of 2D materials and have been developing growth techniques of high-quality materials based on the understandings, in which detailed structural characterizations using low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM) have played essential roles. In this paper, we explain the principles of obtaining various structural features using LEEM, and then we review the status of our current understanding on the growth of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride.
期刊介绍：
Materials especially crystalline materials provide the foundation of our modern technologically driven world. The domination of materials is achieved through detailed scientific research.
Advances in the techniques of growing and assessing ever more perfect crystals of a wide range of materials lie at the roots of much of today''s advanced technology. The evolution and development of crystalline materials involves research by dedicated scientists in academia as well as industry involving a broad field of disciplines including biology, chemistry, physics, material sciences and engineering. Crucially important applications in information technology, photonics, energy storage and harvesting, environmental protection, medicine and food production require a deep understanding of and control of crystal growth. This can involve suitable growth methods and material characterization from the bulk down to the nano-scale.
