Regularly sized Ni nanoclusters (NCs) have been grown on a graphene Moire on Rh(J 11) . Using scanning tunneling microscopy, we determine that initial growth of Ni at 150 K leads to preferential nucleation of monodispersed NCs at specific sites of the Moire superstructure. However, a defined long-range ordering of NCs with increasing coverage is not observed. Room temperature Ni depos ition lea...

Developing an alternative method for fabricating microscale graphene patterns that overcomes the obstacles of organic contamination, linewidth resolution, and substrate damaging is paramount for applications in optoelectronics. Here we propose to pattern chemical vapor deposition grown graphene film through a stencil mask by magnetic-assisted ultraviolet (UV) ozonation under irradiation of a xe...

We report the thermal conductance G of Au/Ti/graphene/SiO(2) interfaces (graphene layers 1 ≤ n ≤ 10) typical of graphene transistor contacts. We find G ≈ 25 MW m(-2) K(-1) at room temperature, four times smaller than the thermal conductance of a Au/Ti/SiO(2) interface, even when n = 1. We attribute this reduction to the thermal resistance of Au/Ti/graphene and graphene/SiO(2) interfaces acting ...

DNA Nanodevices In their Communication (e202111836), Jun Song, Lele Li et al. report a multivariate-gated nanodevice for spatioselective imaging of pro-metastatic targets in extracellular microenvironments.

Employing ab initio calculations we predict that the magnetic states of hydrogenated diamond-shaped zigzag graphene quantum dots (GQDs), each exhibiting unique electronic structure, can be selectively tuned with gate voltage, through Stark or hybridization electric-field modulation of the spatial distribution and energy of the spin-polarized molecular orbitals, leading to transitions between th...

We investigate the effects of nitrogen impurities on the electronic properties of quantum dots realized in Z-shaped graphene nanoribbon junction. The system is studied using first principle calculations, based on the local spin density approximation (LSDA). Our results indicate that the presence of the impurities drastically changes the configuration of the localized states in the quantum dot. ...

Electrochemical deposition (ECD) is a versatile technique for the preparation of ZnO nanowires (NWs) and nanorods (NRs) with high structural and optical quality. The bandgap of the ZnO NWs can be engineered by doping. Depending on the doping cation and concentration, the bandgap is increased or decreased in a controlled manner. The NW arrays have been grown on various substrates. The epitaxial ...
