Scanning tunneling spectroscopy of graphene on graphite.
We report low temperature high magnetic field scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy of graphene flakes on graphite that exhibit the structural and electronic properties of graphene decoupled from the substrate. Pronounced peaks in the tunneling spectra develop with increasing field revealing a Landau level sequence that provides a direct way to identify graphene and to determine the de...
متن کاملUltra-high vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy and theoretical studies of 1-halohexane monolayers on graphite.
A simple model system for the 2D self-assembly of functionalized organic molecules on surfaces was examined in a concerted experimental and theoretical effort. Monolayers of 1-halohexanes were formed through vapor deposition onto graphite surfaces in ultrahigh vacuum. Low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy allowed the molecular conformation, orientation, and monolayer crystallographic pa...
متن کاملScanning tunneling microscopy studies of topological insulators.
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), with surface sensitivity, is an ideal tool to probe the intriguing properties of the surface state of topological insulators (TIs) and topological crystalline insulators (TCIs). We summarize the recent progress on those topological phases revealed by STM studies. STM observations have directly confirmed the existence of the topological surface states and cle...
متن کاملScanning tunneling microscopy studies of carbon-oxygen reactions on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite
The oxidation of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) in air at elevated temperatures was studied by examination of the oxidized HOPG by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Etch pits of uniform size and monolayer depth were readily formed on preexisting defects or generated vacancies in the HOPG basal plane by heating freshly cleaved HOPG samples in air at 650 OC. The density of the pits ...
متن کاملScanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy investigations of QCA molecules.
Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA), a computation paradigm based on the Coulomb interactions between neighboring cells. The key idea is to represent binary information, not by the state of a current switch (transistor), but rather by the configuration of charge in a bistable cell. In its molecular realization, the QCA cell can be a single molecule. QCA is ideally suited for molecular implement...
