Isolating the natural edges of bilayer graphene in gate-defined mesoscopic devices
Francesco Blanda, Grazia Raciti, Thilo Glatzel +8
We introduce a graphite-gated architecture for bilayer graphene devices in which the active device is completely isolated from the natural graphene edges. Using a single patterned…
Microscopic contributions to the deviation from Amontons friction law
Suresh Ravisankar, Ravikant Kumar, Antonio Cammarata +2
We investigate the nanoscale friction behaviour of MX2 monolayers (M = Mo, W; X = S, Se) on Au(111) and Ag(111) substrates with a silicon tip using classical molecular dynamics sim…
Superlubricity of Borophene: Tribological Properties in Comparison to hBN
Antoine Hinaut, B. Sena Tömekçe, Shuyu Huang +5
The tribological performance of 2D materials makes them good candidates toward a reduction of friction at the macroscale. Superlubricity has been observed for graphene, MoS\textsub…
Nanoscale Control of Quantum States in Radical Molecules on Superconducting Pb(111)
Chao Li, Vladislav Pokorný, Martin Žonda +9
Magnetic impurities on superconductors present a viable platform for building advanced applications in quantum technologies. However, a controlled manipulation of their quantum sta…
Probing charge redistribution at the interface of self-assembled cyclo-P5 pentamers on Ag(111)
Outhmane Chahib, Yulin Yin, Jung-Ching Liu +6
Phosphorus pentamer (cyclo-P5-) ions are unstable in nature but can be synthesized at the Ag(111) surface. Unlike monolayer black phosphorous, little is known about their electroni…
Gate-tunable topological superconductivity in a supramolecular electron spin lattice
Rémy Pawlak, Jung-Ching Liu, Chao Li +13
Topological superconductivity emerges in chains or arrays of magnetic atoms coupled to a superconductor. However, the external controllability of such systems with gate voltages is…
Transoid-to-Cisoid Conformation Changes of Single Molecules on Surfaces Triggered by Metal Coordination
Sara Freund, Rémy Pawlak, Lucas Moser +7
Conformational isomers are stereoisomers that can interconvert over low potential barriers by rotation around a single bond. However, such bond rotation is hampered by geometrical…
Conformation And Mechanical Response of Spray Deposited Single Strand DNA on Gold
Remy Pawlak, J. G. Vilhena, Antoine Hinaut +7
Single molecule force spectroscopy of DNA strands adsorbed at surfaces is a powerful technique used in air or liquid environments to quantify their mechanical properties. Although…
Probing Atomic Structure and Majorana Wavefunctions in Mono-Atomic Fe-chains on Superconducting Pb-Surface
Remy Pawlak, Marcin Kisiel, Jelena Klinovaja +5
Motivated by the striking promise of quantum computation, Majorana bound states (MBSs) in solid-state systems have attracted wide attention in recent years. In particular, the wave…
Analytical Approach to the Local Contact Potential Difference on (001) Ionic Surfaces: Implications for Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy
Franck Bocquet, Laurent Nony, Christian Loppacher +1
An analytical model of the electrostatic force between the tip of a non-contact Atomic Force Microscope (nc-AFM) and the (001) surface of an ionic crystal is reported. The model is…
