The strong interest in graphene has motivated the scalable production of high quality graphene and graphene devices. Since large-scale graphene films synthesized to date are typically polycrystalline, it is important to characterize and…
A one-dimensional dielectric grating, based on a simple geometry, is proposed and investigated to enhance light absorption in a monolayer graphene exploiting guided mode resonances. Numerical findings reveal that the optimized configuration…
The full potential of graphene in integrated circuits can only be realized with a reliable ultra-thin high-{\kappa} top-gate dielectric. Here, we report the first statistical analysis of the breakdown characteristics of dielectrics on…
We employ room-temperature ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy (UHV STM) and {\em ab-initio} calculations to study graphene flakes that were adsorbed onto the Si(111)$-$7$\times$7 surface. The characteristic 7$\times$7…
We have performed a density functional theory study of the possible layered geometries occurring after dehydrogenation of a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of biphenyl-thiol molecules (BPTs) adsorbed on a Au(111), as it has been…
We report strongly enhanced perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) of Co films by graphene coating from both first-principles and experiments. Our calculations show that graphene can dramatically boost the surface anisotropy of Co films up…
Pristine graphene is not suitable for hydrogen storage at ambient conditions since it binds the hydrogen molecules only by van der Waals interactions. However, the adsorption energy of the hydrogen molecules can be improved by doping or…
Motivated by the recent discoveries of superconductivity in bilayer and trilayer graphene, we theoretically investigate superconductivity and other interaction-driven phases in multilayer graphene stacks. To this end, we study the density…
$\gamma$-Graphyne is the most symmetric sp2/sp1 allotrope of carbon, which can be viewed as graphene uniformly expanded through insertion of two-carbon acetylenic units between all the aromatic rings. To date, synthesis of bulk…
We show that smoothing of multiaffine surfaces that are generated by simulating a crosslinked polymer gel by a frustrated, triangular network of springs of random equilibrium lengths [G.M. Buend{\'\i}a, S.J. Mitchell, P.A. Rikvold, Phys.…
We report on a comparative structural characterization of two types of high quality epitaxial graphene layers grown by CVD on 4H-SiC(0001). The layers under study are a single layer graphene on top of a buffer layer and a…
We investigate Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) of metal oxide on pristine and functionalized graphene. On pristine graphene, ALD coating can only actively grow on edges and defect sites, where dangling bonds or surface groups react with ALD…
Twisted graphene layers (TGLs) provide a powerful platform for investigating multiple quantum phenomena, yet their scalable deployment is hindered by the lack of reliable synthesis with precise angle. Here, benefited from a deeper…
