Local electroexfoliation of graphene with a STM tip
C. Rubio-Verdú, G. Sáenz-Arce, J. Martínez-Asencio +5
Graphite surfaces can be manipulated by several methods to create graphene structures of different shapes and sizes. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) can be used to create these…
Modeling contact formation between atomic-sized gold tips via molecular dynamics
W. Dednam, C. Sabater, M. A. Fernandez +3
The formation and rupture of atomic-sized contacts is modelled by means of molecular dynamics simulations. Such nano-contacts are realized in scanning tunnelling microscope and mec…
A theoretical study of the dynamics of atomic hydrogen on graphene bilayers
M. Moaied, J. A. Moreno, M. J. Caturla +2
We present a theoretical study of the dynamics of H atoms adsorbed on graphene bilayers with Bernal stacking. First, through extensive density functional theory calculations, inclu…
Mechanical annealing of metallic electrodes at the atomic scale
C. Sabater, C. Untiedt, J. J. Palacios +1
The process of creating an atomically defined and robust metallic tip is described and quantified using measurements of contact conductance between gold electrodes and numerical si…
