Self‐assembly, the process by which objects initially distributed at random arrange into well‐
defined patterns exclusively due to their local mutual interactions without external …

Graphene–metal interface as one of the interesting graphene-based objects attracts much
attention from both application and fundamental science points of view. This paper gives a …

Relativistic fermions that are incident on a high potential barrier can pass through
unimpeded, a striking phenomenon termed the 'Klein paradox'in quantum electrodynamics …

Collective magnetic properties are usually associated with the d or f electrons that carry the
individual magnetic moments. A fully spin-polarized ground state based on π electrons has …

Edge-induced gap states in finite phosphorene layers are examined using analytical models
and density functional theory. The nature of such gap states depends on the direction of the …

Graphene epitaxially grown on Ru (0001) displays a remarkably ordered pattern of hills and
valleys in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images. The extent to which the …

Elaborate density functional theory (DFT) calculations that include the effect of van der
Waals (vdW) interactions have been carried out for graphene epitaxially grown on Ru …

Angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) is extensively used to characterize the
dependence of the electronic structure of graphene on Ir (111) on the preparation process …

Six types of moiré superstructures of graphene on Ir (111) with different orientations (labeled
as R0, R14, R19, R23, R26 and R30) are investigated by low-energy electron diffraction …

Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials exhibit superlative properties dictated by
their intralayer atomic structure, which is typically derived from a limited number of …
