We have submitted our paper on electronic structure of WS2/MoS2 heterostructures.

Borna Pielić and group of co-authors have submitted our paper on electronic structure of WS2/MoS2 heterostructures.

In this work we epitaxially grow lateral WS2 − MoS2 and vertical WS2/MoS2 heterostructures on graphene. By means of scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS), we first examined the electronic structure of monolayer MoS2, WS2 and WS2/MoS2 vertical heterostructure. Moreover, we investigate a band bending in the vicinity of narrow one-dimensional (1D) interface of the WS2 − MoS2 lateral heterostructure and mirror twin boundary (MTB) in the WS2/MoS2 vertical heterostructure. Density functional theory (DFT) is used for calculation of the band structures, as well as for the density of states (DOS) maps at the interfaces.
