Scanning tunneling spectroscopy of graphene on graphite.

چکیده
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 degree of its coupling to the substrate. The Fermi velocity and quasiparticle lifetime, obtained from the positions and width of the peaks, provide access to the electron-phonon and electron-electron interactions.

We studied experimentally and theoretically the electronic local density of states (LDOS) near single step edges at the surface of exfoliated graphite. In scanning tunneling microscopy measurements, we observed the ( √ 3 × √ 3)R30◦ and honeycomb superstructures both extending over 3−4 nm either from the zigzag or armchair edge. Calculations based on a density-functional derived nonorthogonal ti...
متن کاملFolding and cracking of graphene oxide sheets upon deposition
Available online 3 May 2011 Graphene Oxide (GO) sheets, suspended in an aqueous solution, were deposited on freshly cleaved highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and studied using Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). AFM phase imaging shows a distinct contrast between GO and the underlying HOPG substrate. Raman spectroscopy clearly showe...
متن کاملStudies of Reduced Graphene Oxide and Graphite Oxide in the Aspect of Their Possible Application in Gas Sensors
The paper presents the results of investigations on resistance structures based on graphite oxide (GRO) and graphene oxide (rGO). The subject matter of the investigations was thaw the sensitivity of the tested structures was affected by hydrogen, nitrogen dioxide and carbon dioxide. The experiments were performed at a temperature range from 30 °C to 150 °C in two carrier gases: nitrogen and syn...
متن کاملMoiré superstructures of graphene on faceted nickel islands.
Using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, in combination with density functional theory calculations, we investigated the morphology and electronic structure of monolayer graphene grown on the (111) and (110) facets of three-dimensional nickel islands on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite substrate. We observed graphene domains exhibiting hexagonal and striped moiré patterns with pe...
متن کاملPure hydrogen low-temperature plasma exposure of HOPG and graphene: Graphane formation?
Single- and multilayer graphene and highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) were exposed to a pure hydrogen low-temperature plasma (LTP). Characterizations include various experimental techniques such as photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and scanning probe microscopy. Our photoemission measurement shows that hydrogen LTP exposed HOPG has a diamond-like valence-band structure, whic...
