摘      要：A new two-dimensional atomic crystal, monolayer cuprous telluride（Cu2Te） has been fabricated on a grapheneSi C（0001） substrate by molecular beam epitaxy（MBE）. The low-energy electron diffraction（LEED） characterization shows that the monolayer Cu2Te forms ■ superstructure with respect to the graphene substrate. The atomic structure of the monolayer Cu2Te is investigated through a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy（STM） experiments and density functional theory（DFT） calculations. The stoichiometry of the Cu2Te sample is verified by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS） measurement. The angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy（ARPES） data present the electronic band structure of the sample, which is in good agreement with the calculated results. Furthermore, air-exposure experiments reveal the chemical stability of the monolayer Cu2Te. The fabrication of this new 2D material with a particular structure may bring new physical properties for future applications.
