We report the structural and optical properties of a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) grown 2-dimensional (2D) material molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) on graphite, CaF2 and epitaxial graphene. Extensive characterizations reveal that 2H-MoSe2 grows by van-der-Waals epitaxy on all three substrates with a preferred crystallographic orientation and a Mo:Se ratio of 1:2. Photoluminescence at room temperature (similar to 1.56 eV) is observed in monolayer MoSe2 on both CaF2 and epitaxial graphene. The band edge absorption is very sharp, <60 meV over three decades. Overcoming the observed small grains by promoting mobility of Mo adatoms would make MBE a powerful technique to achieve high quality 2D materials and heterostructures.
