Graphene on Rh(111): Scanning tunneling and atomic force microscopies studies
The electronic and crystallographic structure of the graphene/Rh(111) moiré lattice is studied via combination of density-functional theory calculations and scanning tunneling and atomic force microscopy (STM and AFM). Whereas the principal contrast between hills and valleys observed in STM does not depend on the sign of applied bias voltage, the contrast in atomically resolved AFM images stron...
متن کاملImaging and Tuning Molecular Levels at the Surface of a Gated Graphene Device
Gate-controlled tuning of the charge carrier density in graphene devices provides new opportunities to control the behavior of molecular adsorbates. We have used scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) to show how the vibronic electronic levels of 1,3,5-tris(2,2-dicyanovinyl)benzene molecules adsorbed onto a graphene/BN/SiO2 device can be tuned via application of a backgate v...
متن کاملScanning Tunneling Microscopy: Principle and Instrumentation
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has been proven to be an extremely powerful tool for studying the electronic structures of solid-state systems. The STM topographic images, assisted by other surface analysis techniques with chemical specifity, lead to the structural determination of clean and adsorbate-covered surfaces. For example, the first atomically resolved STM image in history confirme...
متن کاملUnraveling the Electronic Structure of Narrow Atomically Precise Chiral Graphene Nanoribbons
Recent advances in graphene-nanoribbon-based research have demonstrated the controlled synthesis of chiral graphene nanoribbons (chGNRs) with atomic precision using strategies of on-surface chemistry. However, their electronic characterization, including typical figures of merit like band gap or frontier band's effective mass, has not yet been reported. We provide a detailed characterization of...
متن کاملRole of the Pinning Points in epitaxial Graphene Moiré Superstructures on the Pt(111) Surface
The intrinsic atomic mechanisms responsible for electronic doping of epitaxial graphene Moirés on transition metal surfaces is still an open issue. To better understand this process we have carried out a first-principles full characterization of the most representative Moiré superstructures observed on the Gr/Pt(111) system and confronted the results with atomically resolved scanning tunneling ...
