Graphene, a single atomic layer of graphite, has been the focus of recent intensive studies
due to its novel electronic and structural properties. Metals grown on graphene also have …

We report strongly enhanced perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) of Co films by
graphene coating from both first-principles and experiments. Our calculations show that …

Adsorption of the alkali-, group-III, and 3 d-transition-metal adatoms (Na, K, Al, In, V, Fe, Co,
and Ni) on graphene was studied systematically by first-principles calculations. The bonding …

We present a systematic study of metal adatom adsorption on graphene by ab initio
calculations. The calculations cover alkali metals, sp-simple metals, 3d and group 10 …
