Abstract

Works, mostly experimental, concerning the most interesting features of application of the resonant tunneling spectroscopy to a new type of heterosystems, van der Waals heterostructures, have been briefly reviewed. These heterostructures appeared after the recent discovery of two-dimensional crystals, which are a new class of materials beginning with graphene. The role of the angular matching of crystal lattices of conducting graphene electrodes of van der Waals systems in carrier tunneling between them has been analyzed together with the closely related problems of satisfaction of conservation laws in tunneling transitions. Manifestations of multiparticle correlation interactions between carriers in van der Waals systems such as Wigner crystallization of electrons in a two-dimensional electron gas in a magnetic field and Bose condensation of excitons in parallel two-dimensional electron gases have been briefly discussed.
