Strain release at the graphene-Ni(100) interface investigated by in-situ and operando scanning tunnelling microscopy
Zhiyu Zou, Laerte L. Patera, Giovanni Comelli +1
Interface strain can significantly influence the mechanical, electronic and magnetic properties of low-dimensional materials. Here we investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy…
Operando atomic-scale study of graphene CVD growth at steps of polycrystalline nickel
Zhiyu Zou, Virginia Carnevali, Laerte L. Patera +5
An operando investigation of graphene growth on (100) grains of polycrystalline nickel (Ni) surfaces was performed by means of variable-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy co…
Surface structures of ZrO films on Rh(111): From two layers to bulk termination
Peter Lackner, Zhiyu Zou, Sabrina Mayr +3
We have studied zirconia films on a Rh(111) substrate with thicknesses in the range of 2-10 monolayers (ML) using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and low-energy electron diffra…
