Adsorption of ortho-deuterium and para-hydrogen films on a graphite substrate, pre-plated with a single atomic layer of krypton, is studied theoretically by means of quantum Monte Carlo simulations at low temperature. Our model explicitly…
Adsorption of para-Hydrogen on the outer surface of a single fullerene is studied theoretically, by means of ground state Quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We compute energetics and radial density profiles of para-Hydrogen for various…
We have performed an {\it ab initio} theoretical investigation of graphene sheet adsorbed on amorphous SiO$_2$ surface (G/a-SiO$_2$). We find that graphene adsorbs on the a-SiO$_2$ surface through van der Waals interactions. The…
Graphynes are 2D porous structures deriving from graphene featuring triangular and regularly distributed subnanometer pores, which may be exploited to host small gaseous species. First principles adsorption energies of molecular hydrogen…
Density functional theory has been used to study the adsorption of molecular H2 on a graphene layer. Different adsorption sites on top of atoms, bonds and the center of carbon hexagons have been considered and compared. We conclude that the…
Solvents are an essential element in the production and processing of two-dimensional (2D) materials. For example, the liquid phase exfoliation of layered materials requires a solvent to prevent the resulting monolayers from re-aggregating,…
The second layer of $^4$He films adsorbed on a graphite substrate is an excellent experimental platform to study the interplay between superfluid and structural orders. Here, we report a rigid two-frequency torsional oscillator study on the…
Using a path-integral Monte Carlo method for simulating superfluid quantum films, we investigate helium layers adsorbed on a substrate consisting of graphite plus two solid helium layers. Our results for the promotion densities and the…
The formation of H2 in the interstellar medium proceeds on the surfaces of silicate or carbonaceous particles. To get a deeper insight of its formation on the latter substrate, this letter focuses on H2 desorption from graphite (0001) in…
Path-integral Monte Carlo calculations have been performed to study the $^4$He adsorption on $\gamma$-graphyne, a planar network of benzene rings connected by acetylene bonds. Assuming the $^4$He-substrate interaction described by a…
We investigate theoretically the existence at low temperature of a commensurate (4/7) crystalline phase of a layer of either He isotope on top of a He-4 layer adsorbed on graphite. We make use of a recently developed, systematically…
Although very similar in many technological applications, graphene and MoS2 bear significant differences if exposed to humid environments. As an example, lubrication properties of graphene are reported to improve while those of MoS2 to…
Bosonic atoms deposited on atomically thin substrates represent a playground for exotic quantum many-body physics due to the highly-tunable, atomic-scale nature of the interaction potentials. The ability to engineer strong interparticle…
We revisited the phase diagram of the second layer of 4He on top of graphite using quantum Monte Carlo methods. Our aim was to explore the existence of the novel phases suggested recently in experimental works, and determine their…
We investigate the electronic properties of graphene upon water adsorption and study the influence of the SiO2 substrate in this context using density functional calculations. Perfect suspended graphene is rather insensitive to H2O…
By using the diffusion Monte Carlo method, we obtained the full phase diagram of $^3$He on top of graphite preplated with a solid layer of $^4$He. All the $^4$He atoms of the substrate were explicitly considered and allowed to move during…
We theoretically study absorption by an undoped graphene layer decorated with arrays of small particles. We discuss periodic and random arrays within a common formalism, which predicts a maximum absorption of $50\%$ for suspended graphene…
The second layer of He-4 adsorbed on a graphite substrate is studied by Quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We make use of a microscopic model of the substrate fully accounting for its corrugation, and compare the results to those obtained…
Using a scanning electron microscope, we observed a reproducible, discrete distribution of secondary electron intensity stemming from an atomically thick graphene film on a thick insulating substrate. The discrete distribution made it…
We report our results on the adsorption of noble gases such as argon, krypton and xenon on a graphene sheet, using Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations. We calculated the two-dimensional gas-liquid critical temperature for each…
