Nucleation and growth mechanisms of short chains of carbon atoms on single-layer, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), and short BN chains on graphene are investigated using first-principles plane wave calculations. Our analysis starts with the…

Temperature constraints are highly desirable in the experimental setup when seeking the synthesis of new carbon structures. Fluctuations of the Dirac field result in temperature-dependent corrections to the Helfrich-Canham formulation,…

The electronic structure of graphene on Cu(111) and Cu(100) single crystals is investigated using low energy electron microscopy, low energy electron diffraction and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy. On both substrates the graphene…

Understanding the reactivity of carbon surfaces is crucial for the development of advanced functional materials. In this study, we systematically investigate the reactivity of graphene surfaces with the Stone-Wales (SW) defect using Density…

Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice with remarkable mechanical and electrical properties. Regarded as the thinnest and narrowest conductive mesh, it has drastically different transmission behaviours…

We employ angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) to investigate the electronic structures of two rotational variants of epitaxial, single-layer graphene on Ir(111). As grown, the more-abundant R0 variant is nearly charge-neutral,…

The quantification of surface area between mineral and reactive fluid is essential in environmental applications of reactive transport modelling. This quantity evolves with microstructures and is difficult to predict because the mechanisms…

The morphology of graphene formed on the (000-1) surface (the C-face) and the (0001) surface (the Si-face) of SiC, by annealing in ultra-high vacuum or in an argon environment, is studied by atomic force microscopy and low-energy electron…

Man-made artificial graphene has attracted significant attention in the past few years due to the possibilities to construct designer Dirac fermions with unexpected topological properties and applications in nanoelectronics. Here we use a…

Patterned graphene shows substantial potential for applications in future molecular-scale integrated electronics. Environmental effects are a critical issue in a single layer material where every atom is on the surface. Especially…

Using first-principles calculations, we show that the formation of carbohydrate directly from carbon and water is energetically favored when graphene membrane is subjected to aqueous environment with difference in chemical potential across…

Graphene consists of single or few layers of crystalline ordered carbon atoms. Its visibility on oxidized silicon (Si/SiO\_2) enabled its discovery and spawned numerous studies of its unique electronic properties. The combination of…

Controlled defect creation is a prerequisite for the detailed study of disorder effects in materials. Here, we irradiate a graphene/Ir(111)-interface with low-energy Ar+ to study the induced structural changes. Combining computer…

Here we demonstrate the selective bulk scale synthesis of delaminated graphene sheets by a proper choice of magnetic field modulating an electric-arc. An ultra-high purity glassy graphite anode was sublimated in an argon atmosphere. Carbon…

Single-layer graphene structures and devices are commonly defined using reactive ion etching and plasma etching with O2 or Ar as the gaseous etchants. Although optical microscopy and Raman spectroscopy are widely used to determine the…

We study alpha, beta, and gamma graphyne, a class of graphene allotropes with carbon triple bonds, using a first-principles density-functional method and tight-binding calculation. We find that graphyne has versatile Dirac cones and it is…

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…

Although defects on graphene can degrade electron transport and its ability for use as a protection layer, they can also be helpful to tailor the local properties or activate new sites for particular adsorbates. Here, carbon vacancy defects…

We have used scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy to resolve the spatial variation of the density of states of twisted graphene layers on top of a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite substrate. Owing to the twist a moire pattern…

We report a new way to strongly couple graphene to a superconductor. The graphene monolayer has been grown directly on top of a superconducting Re(0001) thin film and characterized by scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. We…
