In recent years, two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals materials have emerged as a new platform for studying low-dimensional quantum phenomena. Due to their limited symmetry, they display electrical, optical, and magnetic properties that are different compared to their 3D counterparts. As novel 2D materials, transition metal dihalides (TMHs) emerge as promising platform for stable ferro- or antiferromagnetic ordering in two dimensions. Epitaxial single-layer TMHs require accurate control of the growth parameters and an improved understanding of the interactions between TMHs and the surface. In this work, we employ frequency-modulated scanning force microscopy in the non-contact mode, combined with Kelvin probe microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy, to examine various phases and layer thicknesses of NiBr2 on Au(111) revealing a complicated growth mode in the low coverage regime.
