Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are layered two-dimensional (2D) materials which have come into the focus of research in recent years. Especially, the exciting change of properties when going from bulk to monolayer make them interesting for novel electronic applications. Here, we demonstrate the ex-situ growth of MoS2 and MoSe2 monolayers on Au(111) by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) in a two-zone furnace. Afterwards, the samples were analyzed in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) with the help of surface sensitive methods, including (low-temperature) scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/STS), low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) as well as X-ray and angle-resolved ultra-violet photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS/ARPES). While we could confirm the growth of high-quality single crystalline TMDs, we also accessed the structural and electronic properties of these samples down to the atomic scale. Finally, the impact of annealing on the structure and properties of the TMDs was studied.
