Abstract
In the present work we investigate the growth of monolayer MoSe2 on selenium-intercalated graphene on Ru(0001), a model layered heterostructure combining a transition metal dichalcogenide with graphene, using low energy electron microscopy and micro-diffraction. Real-time observation of MoSe2 on graphene growth reveals the island nucleation dynamics at the nanoscale. Upon annealing, larger islands are formed by sliding and attachment of multiple nanometer-sized MoSe2 flakes. Local micro-spot angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy reveals the electronic structure of the heterostructure, indicating that no charge transfer occurs within adjacent layers. The observed behavior is attributed to intercalation of Se at the graphene/Ru(0001) interface. The unperturbed nature of the proposed heterostructure therefore renders it as a model system for investigations of graphene supported TMD nanostructures.
