Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053"Doctoral thesis accepted by Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China."981-15-1962-5 Introduction -- Germanene on Pt(111) -- Hafnene on Ir(111) -- Monolayer PtSe2 -- Summary and Outlook.This thesis reports on essential experimental work in the field of novel two-dimensional (2D) atomic crystals beyond graphene. It especially describes three new 2D crystal materials, namely germanene, hafnene, and monolayer PtSe2 fabricated experimentally for the first time, using an ultra-high vacuum molecular beam epitaxy (UHV-MBE) system. Multiple characterization techniques, including scanning tunneling microscope (STM), low energy electron diffraction (LEED), scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM), and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), combined with theoretical studies reveal the materials’ atomic and electronic structures, which allows the author to further investigate their physical properties and potential applications. In addition, a new epitaxial growth method for transition metal dichalcogenides involving direct selenization of metal supports is developed. These studies represent a significant step forward in expanding the family of 2D crystal materials and exploring their application potentials in future nanotechnology and related areas.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Surfaces (Physics)Interfaces (Physical sciences)Thin filmsMaterials—SurfacesNanoscale scienceNanoscienceNanostructuresSpectroscopyMicroscopyMaterials scienceSurface and Interface Science, Thin Filmshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25160Surfaces and Interfaces, Thin Filmshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z19000Nanoscale Science and Technologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25140Spectroscopy and Microscopyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31090Characterization and Evaluation of Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z17000Surfaces (Physics).Interfaces (Physical sciences).Thin films.Materials—Surfaces.Nanoscale science.Nanoscience.Nanostructures.Spectroscopy.Microscopy.Materials science.Surface and Interface Science, Thin Films.Surfaces and Interfaces, Thin Films.Nanoscale Science and Technology.Spectroscopy and Microscopy.Characterization and Evaluation of Materials.620.5Li Linfeiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut887449MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996418438403316Fabrication and Physical Properties of Novel Two-dimensional Crystal Materials Beyond Graphene: Germanene, Hafnene and PtSe21982528UNISA
