We have generated precise values for several key energies that are relevant to Cu-
graphene or Cu-graphite systems. Such systems may find technological applications that …

Encapsulation of metal nanoparticles just below the surface of a prototypical layered
material, graphite, is a recently discovered phenomenon. These encapsulation architectures …

SiC-supported graphene intercalated by a two-dimensional Pb monolayer can provide an
appealing platform for spintronic applications. Such a monolayer structure is …

Previous experimental observations motivate clarification of configuration stabilities and
kinetic processes for intercalation of guest atoms into a layered van der Waals material such …

The thermodynamic preference of a foreign atom for adsorption on versus intercalation into
a graphitic surface is of fundamental and widespread interest. From an exhaustive first …

Metal intercalation under graphene has attracted extensive experimental and theoretical
research because of its capability to manipulate the electronic structure and properties of …

Study of the adsorption of a transition metal on the surface of a layered material and the
possible subsequent intercalation into that layered material is of fundamental interest and …

Using scanning tunneling microscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and x-ray
absorption spectroscopy, we show that Ru forms metallic nanoislands on graphite, covered …

Using scanning tunneling microscopy, we show that Pt clusters can be encapsulated
beneath the surface of graphite, whereas Ag and Au cannot. This is in complete agreement …

Previous experimental observations for H intercalation under graphene on SiC surfaces
motivate the clarification of configuration stabilities and kinetic processes related to …
