Abstract

Stacking different two-dimensional (2D) atomic layers is a feasible approach to create unique multilayered van der Waals heterostructures with desired properties. 2D materials, graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), molybdenum disulphate (MoS2) and graphene based van der Waals heterostructures, such as h-BN/graphene and MoS2/graphene have been investigated by means of Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM).

Highlights

  • In recent years, two-dimensional (2D) materials including graphene, hexagonal boron nitride, and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted great attention for applications in fields

  • We present a (S)transmission electron microscopy mode (TEM) study of graphene/hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and graphene/MoS2 heterostrusctures with an emphasis on their lateral interfaces where heterostructures meet the graphene layer

  • In the low magnification TEM image in figure1(a) four holes in lacey carbon film on the TEM grid are fully covered with single layer graphene and the single layer h-BN covers almost two holes, the right side of the figure1(a)
