X-ray photoelectron diffraction as a modern tool for determining surface stacking sequence in layered materials
We investigated the surface structure of a NbSe2 single crystal at room temperature, using angle-scanned x-ray photoelectron diffraction (XPD) combined with multiple scattering calculations. Different stacking sequences were tested (1T, 2Ha, 2Hc, and 3R), including possible stacking faults and a mixed 2H–3R stacking proposed earlier in the literature. We confirm the capability of XPD to distinguish different proposed structural models and, unambiguously, determine the true surface structure. Also, our findings provide reliable in-plane and interlayer distances. We observed expansions of the perpendicular distances between atomic planes within the monolayer and between monolayers of 3%–5%. These results are important as accurate experimental input for the development of theoretical methods that involve a quantitative description of van der Waals systems.
