“…In these heterostructure materials, van der Waals forces are believed to play a dominant role in gluing the different layers together, but the full picture remains elusive. , It is true that the van der Waals interactions exist at the interface of the sublayers, which can be seen in a number of studies carried out using contact angle measurements and atomic force microscopy, and this nonpolar interaction could be the dominating factor that stabilizes the heterostructures. ,, On the other hand, the phenomenon of partial charge transfer (polar interaction) among the heterostructure sublattices is also speculated to be an important factor behind the stability of the compounds. ,, Particularly, for superconductivity in heterostructures, interface charge transfer and electron–phonon coupling have also been suggested as crucial interactions among their component layers. , Therefore, to understand the atomic-scale phenomenon of charge transfer and/or van der Waals interactions, a comprehensive study of the crystal structure and sublayer alignment is needed.…”
