Abstract
This review presents an account of some recent scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/S) studies of monolayer and bilayer transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) films grown by molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE). In addition to some intrinsic properties revealed by STM/S, defects such as inversion domain boundaries and point defects, their properties and induced effects, are presented. More specifically, the quantum confinement and moiré potential effects, charge state transition, quasi-particle interference and structural phase transition as revealed by STM/S are described.
