Our goal is to probe the fundamental properties of two-dimensional (2D) structures, such as graphene and boron nitride. In particular, we focus on the study of the electronic properties of such structures when they are combined/assembled together in order to form 2D hetero-structures. Chemical vapor deposition and magnetron-sputtering are the techniques used to grow these structures in an ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) environment. The UHV allows us to probe the intrinsic properties of these materials. Scanning tunneling microscopy and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy are the main techniques we employ for our investigation.
