The present work clarifies important aspects of the structure of MoS2 epitaxially grown on Au(111) by physical vapor deposition. The results are very significant to understand the interaction between transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) and metallic substrates. TMDCs present fascinating electronic, optical and catalytic properties. Remarkable differences are found in the single-layered TMDCs in contrast to the bulk material, e. g. transition from indirect to direct band gap and spin-orbit-induced spin splitting due to the symmetry loss. Determination of the structure down to the atomic level is crucial in understanding the correlation between these properties and the morphology.
X-ray standing waves (XSW) has been used to study the average distances between the single-layer S-Mo-S to substrate surface. Chemical analysis was performed by means of high-resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) was used to elucidate the sample quality and the in-plain structure of MoS2/Au(111).
