Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this work, we have developed growth method of atomic-layer metals to explore electronic properties, in particular, superconductivity in these metals. For this purpose, we have focused on NbS2 and NbSe2, layered metals know as superconductors, and chemical vapor deposition and molecular beam epitaxy method. Through this work, we have successfully grown monolayer NbS2 and NbSe2. Selective growth of monolayer NbSe2 via MBE growth is particularly important for future investigation of superconductivity in 2-dimensional limit.
