Using scanning tunnelling microscopy and low-energy electron diffraction we study the growth and structure of vanadium disulphide VS2. The mono- to few-layer samples of VS2 on graphene on Ir(111) are grown by in situ molecular beam epitaxy. Depending on the specific growth parameters, a variety of growth scenarios evolves. Monolayer VS2 displays smoothly joined domains of a (3×1) superstructure that appears to result from an uniaxial distortion and buckling of the hexagonal VS2 lattice. In X-ray circular magnetic dichroism experiments, the ferromagnetism proposed in monolayer VS2 [1] is not found. In few-layer VS2, the hexagonal lattice is restored, still exhibiting multiple superstructures.
