The interface between a two-dimensional(2D)atomic crystal and a metal surface can be regarded as a nanoreactor, in which molecule adsorption and catalytic reactions may occur. In this work, we demonstrate that oxygen ...
The atomic and electronic structure of graphene synthesized on commercially available cubic-SiC(001)/Si(001) wafers have been studied by low energy electron microscopy (LEEM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM...
The rare-earth metal, ytterbium (Yb), was deposited on graphene grown on Si-face SiC, kept at room temperature. Yb was not found to intercalate, destroy or dope the graphene layer before subsequent heating, unlike alk...
Low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM) has been used to study the structure, initial growth orientation, growth progression, and the number of layers of atomically thin hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) films. The h-B...
