How atoms acquire three-dimensional bulk character is one of the fundamental questions in materials science. Before addressing this question, how atomic layers become a bulk crystal might give a hint to the answer. While atomically thin films have been studied in a limited range of materials, a recent discovery showing how to mechanically exfoliate bulk crystals has opened up the field to study the atomic layers of various materials. Here, we show systematic variation in the band structure of hi ...[more]
