Three-Fold Diffraction Symmetry in Epitaxial Graphene and the SiC Substrate
David A. Siegel, Shuyun Zhou, Farid El Gabaly +3
The crystallographic symmetries and spatial distribution of stacking domains in graphene films on SiC have been studied by low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and dark field ima…
Measuring the magnetization of three monolayer thick Co islands and films by X-ray dichroism
A. Mascaraque, L. Aballe, J. F. Marco +7
Co islands and films are characterized by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism photoemission electron microscopy (XMCD-PEEM). The spatial resolution capabilties of the technique toget…
Self-doping effects in epitaxially grown graphene
D. A. Siegel, S. Y. Zhou, F. El Gabaly +3
Self-doping in graphene has been studied by examining single-layer epitaxially grown graphene samples with differing characteristic lateral terrace widths. Low energy electron micr…
Coinage-metal capping effects on the spin-reorientations of Co/Ru(0001)
Farid el Gabaly, Kevin F. McCarty, Andreas K. Schmid +5
Thin films of Co/Ru(0001) are known to exhibit an unusual spin reorientation transition (SRT) coupled to the completion of Co atomic layers for Co thicknesses under 4 layers. By me…
Origin of the energy bandgap in epitaxial graphene
S. Y. Zhou, D. A. Siegel, A. V. Fedorov +4
We studied the effect of quantum confinement on the size of the band gap in single layer epitaxial graphene. Samples with different graphene terrace sizes are studied by using low…
Labyrinthine Island Growth during Pd/Ru(0001) Heteroepitaxy
Nicolas Rougemaille, Farid El Gabaly, Roland Stumpf +4
Using low energy electron microscopy we observe that Pd deposited on Ru only attaches to small sections of the atomic step edges surrounding Pd islands. This causes a novel epitaxi…
