Electronic Structure of Quasi-Freestanding WS

Growth of 2D materials under ultrahigh-vacuum (UHV) conditions allows for an in situ characterization of samples with direct spectroscopic insight. Heteroepitaxy of transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) in UHV remains a challenge for integration of several different monolayers into new functional systems. In this work, we epitaxially grow lateral WS
