We show that it is possible to prepare and identify ultra--thin sheets of graphene on crystalline substrates such as SrTiO$_3$, TiO$_2$, Al$_2$O$_3$ and CaF$_2$ by standard techniques (mechanical exfoliation, optical and atomic force…
We present energy filtered electron emission spectromicroscopy with spatial and wave-vector resolution on few layer epitaxial graphene on SiC$(000-1) grown by furnace annealing. Low energy electron microscopy shows that more than 80% of the…
This work describes the development of a third-generation charge optimized many-body (COMB3) potential for Al-C and its application to the investigation of aluminum/graphene nanostructures. In particular, the new COMB3 potential was used to…
Graphene quality indicators obtained by Raman spectroscopy have been correlated to the structural changes of the graphene/Germanium interface as a function of in-vacuum thermal annealing. Specifically, it is found that graphene becomes…
Graphene on $L1_0$-FePd(001), which has been experimentally studied in recent years, is a heterogeneous interface with a significant lattice symmetry mismatch between the honeycomb structure of graphene and tetragonal alloy surface. In this…
Systematic studies of the gradual fabrication by means of carbon ion-implantation of high-quality 6H-SiC layers on silicon surfaces have been carried out. The fluence of carbon ions varied from 5*10^15 cm-2 to 10^17 cm-2. Results of…
We develop a strategy for graphene growth on Ru(0001) followed by silicon-layer intercalation that not only weakens the interaction of graphene with the metal substrate but also retains its superlative properties. This G/Si/Ru architecture,…
Graphene on silicon carbide (SiC) bears great potential for future graphene electronic applications because it is available on the wafer-scale and its properties can be custom-tailored by inserting various atoms into the graphene/SiC…
Using full potential density functional theory calculations we have investigated the structural and electronic properties of graphene and some other graphene-like materials, viz., monolayer of SiC, GeC, BN, AlN, GaN, ZnO, ZnS and ZnSe. We…
Direct, tunable coupling between individually assembled graphene layers is a next step towards designer two-dimensional (2D) crystal systems, with relevance for fundamental studies and technological applications. Here we describe the…
The Seebeck coefficient in multilayer graphene is investigated within the density-functional theory, using the semiclassical Boltzmann equations and interpolating the bands in a maximally-localized Wannier functions basis set. We compare…
Current advancements in battery technologies require electrodes to combine high-performance active material such as Silicon (Si) with two-dimensional materials such as transition metal carbides (MXenes) for prolonged cycle stability and…
The mechanical integrity of composite materials depends primarily on the interface strength and the defect density of the reinforcement which is the provider of enhanced strength and stiffness. In the case of graphene/ polymer…
Propylene carbonate (PC) wets graphite with a contact angle of 31 deg at ambient conditions. Molecular dynamics simulations agree with this contact angle after 40% reduction of the strength of graphite-C atom Lennard-Jones interactions with…
Patterning of graphene is key for device fabrication. We report a way to increase or reduce the number of layers in epitaxial graphene grown on the C-face (000-1) of silicon carbide by the deposition of a 120 nm to 150nm-thick silicon…
The atomistic structure of the graphene buffer layer on Si-terminated SiC is studied using a modified environment-dependent interatomic potential (EDIP). The investigation of equilibrium state by conjuguate gradients suffers from a complex…
We present a systematical study via scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) on the effect of the exposure of Lithium (Li) on graphene on silicon carbide (SiC). We have investigated Li deposition both…
Graphene monolayer grown by Si evaporation from the 0001 surface of SiC displays a moir\'e pattern of corrugation whose structure is ambiguous: different measurements and theoretical studies show either protruding bumps surrounded by…
Epitaxial graphene films were formed on the Si-face of semi-insulating 4H-SiC substrates by a high temperature sublimation process. A high-k gate stack on epitaxial graphene is realized by inserting a fully oxidized nanometer thin aluminum…
Up to two layers of epitaxial graphene have been grown on the Si-face of two-inch SiC wafers exhibiting room-temperature Hall mobilities up to 1800 cm^2/Vs, measured from ungated, large, 160 micron x 200 micron Hall bars, and up to 4000…
