(abstract)

We investigate the electronic properties of a graphene and α-ruthenium trichloride (α-RuCl3) heterostructure, using a combination of experimental and theoretical techniques. α-RuCl3 is a Mott insulator and a Kitaev material, and its combination with graphene has gained increasing attention due to its potential applicability in novel electronic and optoelectronic devices. By using a combination of spatially resolved photoemission spectroscopy, low energy electron microscopy, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations we are able to provide a first direct visualization of the massive charge transfer from graphene to α-RuCl3, which can modify the electronic properties of both materials, leading to novel electronic phenomena at their interface. The electronic band structure is compared to DFT calculations that confirm the occurrence of a Mott transition for α-RuCl3. Finally, a measurement of spatially resolved work function allows for a direct estimate of the interface dipole between graphene and α-RuCl3. The strong coupling between graphene and α-RuCl3 could lead to new ways of manipulating electronic properties of two-dimensional lateral heterojunction. Understanding the electronic properties of this structure is pivotal for designing next generation low-power opto-electronics devices.
