As one of the most fascinating confined water/ice phenomena, two-dimensional square ice has been extensively studied and experimentally confirmed in recent years. Apart from the unidirectional homogeneous square icing patterns considered in…
With the ability to selectively control ionic flux, biological protein ion channels perform a fundamental role in many physiological processes. For practical applications that require the functionality of a biological ion channel, graphene…
We investigate the adsorption sites of $3d$ transition metal (TM) adatoms by means of low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. Co and Ni adatoms were adsorbed on two types of graphene on SiC(0001), i.e. pristine…
Germanium is emerging as the substrate of choice for the growth of graphene in CMOS-compatible processes. For future application in next generation devices the accurate control over the properties of high-quality graphene synthesized on Ge…
Graphene-metal nanoparticle hybrid materials potentially display not only the unique properties of metal nanoparticles and those of graphene, but also additional novel properties due to the interaction between graphene and nanoparticles.…
Graphene-based heterostructures display a variety of phenomena that are strongly tunable by electrostatic local gates. Monolayer graphene (MLG) exhibits tunable surface plasmon polaritons, as revealed by scanning nano-infrared experiments.…
Despite extensive microscale studies, the macroscopic mechanical properties of monolayer graphene remain underexplored. Here, we report the Young's modulus ($E$ = 1.11 $\pm$ 0.04 TPa), tensile strength (${\sigma}$ = 27.40 $\pm$ 4.36 GPa),…
Two-dimensional (2D) materials possess great potential for flexible devices, ascribing to their outstanding electrical, optical, and mechanical properties. However, their mechanical deformation property and fracture mechanism, which are…
The honeycomb lattice of graphene is a unique two-dimensional (2D) system where the quantum mechanics of electrons is equivalent to that of relativistic Dirac fermions. Novel nanometer-scale behavior in this material, including electronic…
Superconductivity in single-layer graphene has attracted considerable interest. Here, using the determinant quantum Monte Carlo method, we study transitions of superconductivity and magnetism in a monolayer graphene with a special periodic…
We report a double-layer electronic system made of two closely-spaced but electrically isolated graphene monolayers sandwiched in boron nitride. For large carrier densities in one of the layers, the adjacent layer no longer exhibits a…
Using high temperature annealing conditions with a graphite cap covering the C-face of an 8deg off-axis 4H-SiC sample, large and homogeneous single epitaxial graphene layers have been grown. Raman spectroscopy shows evidence of the almost…
Monolayer lateral heterostructure of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BNC) has attracted a growing attention mainly due to its tunable band-gap character and unique physical properties at interface. Hereby, we reported the first-time…
We have analyzed by Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy (STM) thin films made of few (3-5) graphene layers grown on the C terminated face of 6H-SiC in order to identify the nature of the azimuthal disorder reported in this material. We observe…
Vertical and lateral heterogeneous structures of two-dimensional (2D) materials have paved the way for pioneering studies on the physics and applications of 2D materials. A hybridized hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and graphene lateral…
We propose a natural way to create quantum-confined regions in graphene in a system that allows large-scale device integration. We show, using first-principles calculations, that a single graphene layer on a trenched region of…
Crystallographic defects play a key role in determining the properties of crystalline materials. The new class of two-dimensional materials, foremost graphene, have enabled atomically resolved studies of defects, such as vacancies, grain…
Single-atom-thick two-dimensional materials such as graphene usually have a hexagonal lattice while the square-planar lattice is uncommon in the family of two-dimensional materials. Here, we demonstrate that single-atom-thick transition…
A description is given of a three-dimensional box-shaped graphene (BSG) nanostructure formed/uncovered by mechanical cleavage of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). The discovered nanostructure is a multilayer system of parallel…
Highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HoPG) may be the only known monatomic crystal with the ability to host naturally formed moire patterns on its cleaved surfaces, which are coherent over micrometer scales and with discrete sets of twist…
