Ultrastrong Au-Te bonding drives disorder in monolayer ZrTe on gold
Konrád Kandrai, Zoltán Tajkov, Péter Kun +3
Monolayer ZrTe is predicted to host a large-gap quantum spin Hall phase, motivating efforts to isolate single layers of the material. Gold-assisted exfoliation produces clean m…

Enrichment of rhombohedral stacking by mechanical exfoliation of graphite
Krisztián Márity, Konrád Kandrai, Gergely Dobrik +5
Rhombohedral (ABC) graphite hosts a surface-localized flat band that supports correlated and topological electronic phases, but its experimental study is limited by the scarcity of…

Revealing the impact of ambient molecular contamination on scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy of layered materials
György Kálvin, Péter Vancsó, Márton Szendrő +4
Hydrocarbon contamination is an ever-present factor to consider in surface science measurements. In the case of van der Waals material surfaces, the structure of this contamination…
