Direct observation of ordered configurations of hydrogen adatoms on graphene
arXiv:1409.1647 · doi:10.1021/nl503635x
Abstract
Ordered configurations of hydrogen adatoms on graphene have long been proposed, calculated and searched for. Here we report direct observation of several ordered configurations of H adatoms on graphene by scanning tunneling microscopy. On the top side of the graphene plane, H atoms in the configurations appear to stick to carbon atoms in the same sublattice. A gap larger than 0.6 eV in the local density of states of the configurations was revealed by scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements. These findings can be well explained by density functional theory calculations based on double sided H configurations. In addition, factors that may influence H ordering are discussed.
