Spatially resolved edge currents and guided-wave electronic states in graphene
Exploiting the light-likeproperties of carriers ingraphene could allow extreme non-classical forms of electronic transport to be realized1–8. In this vein, finding ways to confine and direct electronic waves through nanoscale streams and streamlets, unimpeded by the presence of other carriers, has remained a grand challenge9–12. Inspired by guiding of light in fibre optics, here we demonstrate ...
متن کاملPeriodically rippled graphene: growth and spatially resolved electronic structure.
We grow epitaxial graphene monolayers on Ru(0001) that cover uniformly the substrate over lateral distances larger than several microns. The weakly coupled graphene monolayer is periodically rippled and it shows charge inhomogeneities in the charge distribution. Real space measurements by scanning tunneling spectroscopy reveal the existence of electron pockets at the higher parts of the ripples...
متن کاملSpatially Resolved Electronic Structures of Atomically Precise Armchair Graphene Nanoribbons
Graphene has attracted much interest in both academia and industry. The challenge of making it semiconducting is crucial for applications in electronic devices. A promising approach is to reduce its physical size down to the nanometer scale. Here, we present the surface-assisted bottom-up fabrication of atomically precise armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) with predefined widths, namely 7-, ...
متن کاملSublattice localized electronic states in atomically resolved graphene-Pt(111) edge-boundaries.
Understanding the connection of graphene with metal surfaces is a necessary step for developing atomically precise graphene-based technology. Combining high-resolution STM experiments and DFT calculations, we have unambiguously unveiled the atomic structure of the boundary between a graphene zigzag edge and a Pt(111) step. The graphene edges minimize their strain by inducing a 3-fold edge-recon...
متن کاملSpatially resolving edge states of chiral graphene nanoribbons
A central question in the field of graphene-related research is how graphene behaves when it is patterned at the nanometre scale with different edge geometries. A fundamental shape relevant to this question is the graphene nanoribbon (GNR), a narrow strip of graphene that can have different chirality depending on the angle at which it is cut. Such GNRs have been predicted to exhibit a wide rang...
