This article reviews the basic theoretical aspects of graphene, a one-atom-thick allotrope of
carbon, with unusual two-dimensional Dirac-like electronic excitations. The Dirac electrons …

The article reviews work on graphene monolayers adsorbed on metal surfaces. Graphene
layers on metals have been prepared by surface segregation of carbon and by …

The flow of water in carbon nanochannels has defied understanding thus far, with
accumulating experimental evidence for ultra-low friction, exceptionally high water flow rates …

Atomic force microscopy is an amazing technique that allies a versatile methodology (that
allows measurement of samples in liquid, vacuum or air) to imaging with unprecedented …

We employ scanning probe microscopy to reveal atomic structures and nanoscale
morphology of graphene-based electronic devices (ie, a graphene sheet supported by an …

After prolonged annealing of a Ru (0001) sample in ultrahigh vacuum a superstructure with
a periodicity of∼ 30 Å was observed by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Using x-ray …

We report on the local atomic and electronic structures of a nitrogen-doped graphite surface
by scanning tunneling microscopy, scanning tunneling spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron …

This review covers recent experimental progress in probing the electronic properties of
graphene and how they are influenced by various substrates, by the presence of a magnetic …

More than five years have passed since the first edition of this book was published. Surface
science is still a very active field of research, and the fact that the Nobel Prize 2007 in …

When two identical two-dimensional periodic structures are superposed, a mismatch rotation
angle between the structures generates a superlattice. This effect is commonly observed in …
