▎ 摘 要
Moire superlattices in van der Waals heterostructures are gaining increasing attention because they offer new opportunities to tailor and explore unique electronic phenomena. Using a combination of lateral piezoresponse force microscopy (LPFM) and scanning Kelvin probe microscopy (SKPM), we directly correlate ABAB and ABCA stacked graphene with local surface potential. We find that the surface potential of the ABCA domains is similar to 15 mV higher (smaller work function) than that of the ABAB domains. First-principles calculations show that the different work functions between ABCA and ABAB domains arise from the stacking-dependent electronic structure. Moreover, while the moire superlattice visualized by LPFM can change with time, imaging the surface potential distribution via SKPM appears more stable, enabling the mapping of ABAB and ABCA domains without tip-sample contact-induced effects. Our results provide a new means to visualize and probe local domain stacking in moire ' superlattices along with its impact on electronic properties.
