Formation of identical-size graphene nanoclusters on Ru(0001).

چکیده
Identical-size graphene nanoclusters (GNCs) form on Ru(0001) mediated by the substrate-induced clustering effect. The two kinds of uniform GNCs were identified as the seven C6-ring (noted as 7-C6) and three C6-ring (3-C6) structures with a dome-shape by using scanning tunneling microscopy.

Atomistic modeling of the directed-assembly of bimetallic Pt-Ru nanoclusters on Ru(0001)-supported monolayer graphene.
The formation of Pt-Ru nanoclusters (NCs) by sequential deposition of Pt and Ru on a periodically rumpled graphene sheet supported on Ru(0001) is analyzed by atomistic-level modeling and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. The "coarse-scale" periodic variation of the adsorption energy of metal adatoms across the graphene sheet directs the assembly of NCs to a periodic array of thermodynamically pr...
متن کاملSize-selected monodisperse nanoclusters on supported graphene: bonding, isomerism, and mobility.
Soft-landing of size-selected Pd(n) (n ≤ 20) nanoclusters on a Moiré-patterned surface of graphene adsorbed on Ru(0001) leads to controlled formation of a truly monodisperse cluster-assembled material. Combined scanning tunneling microscopy and first-principles calculations allow identification of selective adsorption sites, characterization of size-dependent cluster isomers, and exploration of...
متن کاملDirected assembly of Ru nanoclusters on Ru(0001)-supported graphene: STM studies and atomistic modeling
Directed assembly of an array of Ru nanoclusters (NCs) is achieved by deposition of Ru at around room temperature on a single layer of graphene supported on Ru(0001). In this system, directed assembly is guided by the periodic moiré structure of the buckled graphene sheet. Behavior is analyzed utilizing both scanning tunneling microscopy and atomistic lattice-gas modeling together with kinetic ...
متن کاملAdsorption and diffusion of Ru adatoms on Ru(0001)-supported graphene: Large-scale first-principles calculations.
Large-scale first-principles density functional theory calculations are performed to investigate the adsorption and diffusion of Ru adatoms on monolayer graphene (G) supported on Ru(0001). The G sheet exhibits a periodic moiré-cell superstructure due to lattice mismatch. Within a moiré cell, there are three distinct regions: fcc, hcp, and mound, in which the C6-ring center is above a fcc site, ...
متن کاملGraphene on Ru(0001): contact formation and chemical reactivity on the atomic scale.
Graphene on Ru(0001) is contacted with Au tips of a cryogenic scanning tunneling microscope. The formation and conductance of single-atom contacts vary within the moiré unit cell. Density functional calculations reveal that elastic distortions of the graphene lattice occur at contact due to a selectively enhanced chemical reactivity of C atoms at hollow sites of Ru(0001). Concomitant quantum tr...
