Hexagonal C and BN superstructures on Ru(0001) and Ge(111)
Författare
Summary, in English
A brief overview of hexagonal superstructures with a periodicity of similar to 3 nm formed on Ru(0001) and Ge(111) by graphene or hexagonal boron nitride with a thickness of just a single atomic layer is given. A periodic height corrugation of such layers due to the lattice mismatch with the substrate material is of the order of 0.1 nm. Selected examples of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and low energy electron microscopy/diffraction (LEEM/LEED) investigations of BN/Ru(0001), C/Ru(0001), (BN)(x)C-y/Ru(0001) and C/Ge(111) are presented. These systems can act as nanotemplates for metal nanoparticles growth, as well as strongly heterogeneous substrates for molecular adsorption.
