We review the binding and energy level alignment of π-conjugated systems on metals, a
field which during the last two decades has seen tremendous progress both in terms of …

The lack of large-area synthesis processes on substrates compatible with industry
requirements has been one of the major hurdles facing the integration of 2D materials in …

The family of two-dimensional materials has been expanding rapidly over the last few years.
Within it, a special place is occupied by silicene, germanene, and stanene due to their …

Atomic monolayers on semiconductor surfaces represent an emerging class of functional
quantum materials in the two-dimensional limit—ranging from superconductors and Mott …

Using the X-ray standing wave method, scanning tunneling microscopy, low energy electron
diffraction, and density functional theory, we precisely determine the lateral and vertical …

Controlled synthesis of 2D structures on nonmetallic substrate is challenging, yet an
attractive approach for the integration of 2D systems into current semiconductor …

The beamline uses one of the four 8 m straight sections in the Diamond storage ring. To
allow the hard X-ray undulator to reach a suitably small gap, additional magnets were added …

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

The dependence of the wettability of graphene on the nature of the underlying substrate
remains only partially understood. Here, we systematically investigate the role of liquid …

We investigate the structural and electronic properties of nitrogen-doped epitaxial
monolayer graphene and quasifreestanding monolayer graphene on 6 H-SiC (0001) by the …
