Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) are layered quasi 2D materials that exhibit exciting physical phenomena such as superconductivity (SC) and charge density waves (CDW), which strongly depend on the TMD dimensionality. In order to study the effect of dimensionality on the electronic properties of TMD a series of ferecrystal heterostructures with chemical formula [(MSe)m /(TSe2)n]k (M = Sn, Pb, Bi and T = V, Nb, Ti) were synthesized with precise control of the dimensionality, i.e. m and n. Additionally, study of the charge transfer (CT) into the dichalcogenide layer is possible by changing the M cation. Here we present a X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) study at the transition metal L2,3 edges for (PbSe)1/(VSe2)n (with n = 1, 3), as well as (MSe)1/(NbSe2)1 and (MSe)1/(TiSe2)1 (with M = Sn, Pb, Bi) heterostructures at temperatures below and above TCDW. Our experiments clearly show strong changes of the transition metal XAS spectra by changing the M ion. Moreover, X-ray magnetic circular dichroism reveals weak magnetism for samples containing Ti and V.
