Surface Microscopy Characterizations of Large Size Graphene films Grown by Surface Segregation on Ni and Transferred to Si/SiO2 Substrate
We report surface microscopy characterizations of large size graphene films (up to mm) grown on polycrystalline Ni foils and transferred to Si/SiO2. Wrinkles in such films are studied by both atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Local graphitic lattice structures of the films are imaged with atomic-resolution STM and compared with those of the highly ordered py...
متن کاملRevealing the hidden atom in graphite by low-temperature atomic force microscopy.
Carbon, the backbone material of life on Earth, comes in three modifications: diamond, graphite, and fullerenes. Diamond develops tetrahedral sp3 bonds, forming a cubic crystal structure, whereas graphite and fullerenes are characterized by planar sp2 bonds. Polycrystalline graphite is the basis for many products of everyday life: pencils, lubricants, batteries, arc lamps, and brushes for elect...
متن کاملFirst-principles calculation of highly asymmetric structure in scanning-tunneling-microscopy images of graphite.
Using a first-principles calculation, we have computed the charge density for states near EF that is related to the current density observable in scanning-tunneling-microscopy experiments for surfaces of hexagonal, rhombohedral, and a model stage-l intercalated graphite. In hexagonal and rhombohedral graphite, the tunneling current is predicted to be considerably smaller at surface atomic sites...
متن کاملScanning tunneling microscopy of the formation, transformation, and property of oligothiophene self-organizations on graphite and gold surfaces.
Two alkyl-substituted dual oligothiophenes, quarterthiophene (4T)-trimethylene (tm)-octithiophene (8T) and 4T-tm-4T, were used to fabricate molecular structures on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite and Au(111) surfaces. The resulted structures were investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy. The 4T-tm-8T and 4T-tm-4T molecules self-organize into long-range ordered structures with linear and...
متن کاملMicrostructure and atomic configuration of the (001)-oriented surface of epitaxial Ni–Mn–Ga thin films
The (001)-oriented surface of epitaxial off-stoichiometric Ni–Mn–Ga ferromagnetic shape memory alloys was studied in both austenitic and martensitic phases. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) imaging of the austenitic surface reveals a well-ordered and reconstruction-free surface exhibiting predominantly Mn–Ga termination. We found that only one of the two atomic species (Ga or Mn) is visible ...
