2D semiconducting materials represent an interesting opportunity for the desired scaling of electronic devices. Black phosphorus (PB) is a promising candidate because of its direct gap in the range of telecommunications wavelengths and a comparatively high room-temperature mobility that compares…

In this thesis, I present my research work on epitaxial thin films of LaNiO3 and SrMoO3, investigated by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), which yields a direct measurement of the interacting electronic structure. Thin films of the correlated transition-metal oxide LaNiO3 undergo a …

Van der Waals materials can be exfoliated down to atomically thin crystals, offering potential to explore physics in lower dimensionality. In this thesis, I investigated their topological electronic structure with ARPES. I studied mono-, bi- and few-layer Td-WTe2. The small size of exfoliated…

Ca2RuO4 is a multi-band Mott transition system with a ground state that is known to be sensitive to external perturbations, such as chemical substitution, pressure, strain and electric fields. In this work I utilize such sensitivity to determine its electronic structure evolution by angle-resolved…

In this thesis I have investigated the electronic structure of two-dimensional electron liquids (2DEL) induced at different surfaces of the transition metal oxide band insulators SrTiO3, KTaO3 and anatase TiO2 by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). I present high-resolution ARPES…
