Fabricating model heterostructures of large-area monolayer or bilayer MoS2 on an Au(111) surface under ultra-high vacuum
Fabricating heterojunctions with precisely controlled interfacial structures is crucial for exploring novel low-dimensional physics and for realizing high-performance devices. However, such capabilities are often constrained by contamination from the ambient environment or by the limitations of applicable methods and materials under vacuum conditions. In this study, MoS2/Au(111) heterostructures were fabricated by exfoliating MoS2 thin layers onto a crystallized Au(111) surface using a gold-assisted exfoliation method in an ultra-high vacuum environment. This method yields millimeter-sized monolayer or sub-millimeter-sized bilayers with contamination-free interfaces, which are unattainable for samples made in air. Scanning tunneling microscopy revealed that both the monolayer and the bilayer exhibit uniform and well-ordered moiré superlattices controlled by the twisting angle between the Au(111) surface and the MoS2 overlayer. The direct contact with the Au surface renders the monolayer MoS2 weakly metallic, while a less coupled bilayer is semiconducting, indicating a 0.54 eV Schottky barrier for the MoS2/Au(111) contact. This method is applicable to various combinations of van der Waals materials and metal surfaces. The uniform and controllable heterojunctions can serve as ideal model systems for exploring semiconductor–metal interfaces and atomic structures formed within.

期刊介绍:
Results in Physics is an open access journal offering authors the opportunity to publish in all fundamental and interdisciplinary areas of physics, materials science, and applied physics. Papers of a theoretical, computational, and experimental nature are all welcome. Results in Physics accepts papers that are scientifically sound, technically correct and provide valuable new knowledge to the physics community. Topics such as three-dimensional flow and magnetohydrodynamics are not within the scope of Results in Physics.
Results in Physics welcomes three types of papers:
1. Full research papers
2. Microarticles: very short papers, no longer than two pages. They may consist of a single, but well-described piece of information, such as:
- Data and/or a plot plus a description
- Description of a new method or instrumentation
- Negative results
- Concept or design study
3. Letters to the Editor: Letters discussing a recent article published in Results in Physics are welcome. These are objective, constructive, or educational critiques of papers published in Results in Physics. Accepted letters will be sent to the author of the original paper for a response. Each letter and response is published together. Letters should be received within 8 weeks of the article''s publication. They should not exceed 750 words of text and 10 references.
