Euclid preparation. XXIX. Water ice in spacecraft part I: The physics of ice formation and contamination
Euclid Collaboration, M. Schirmer, K. Thürmer +218
Molecular contamination is a well-known problem in space flight. Water is the most common contaminant and alters numerous properties of a cryogenic optical system. Too much ice mea…
Influence of lattice orientation on growth and structure of graphene on Cu(001)
Joseph M. Wofford, Shu Nie, Konrad Thürmer +2
We have used low-energy electron microscopy and diffraction to examine the significance of lattice orientation in graphene growth on Cu(001). Individual graphene domains undergo an…
Graphene/Au(111) interaction studied by scanning tunneling microscopy
Shu Nie, Norman C. Bartelt, Joseph M. Wofford +3
We have used scanning tunneling microscopy to study the structure of graphene islands on Au(111) grown by deposition of elemental carbon at 950°C. Consistent with low-energy electr…
Extraordinary epitaxial alignment of graphene islands on Au(111)
Joseph M. Wofford, Elena Starodub, Andrew L. Walter +7
Pristine, single-crystalline graphene displays a unique collection of remarkable electronic properties that arise from its two-dimensional, honeycomb structure. Using in-situ low-e…
How metal films de-wet substrates - identifying the kinetic pathways and energetic driving forces
Kevin F. McCarty, John C. Hamilton, Yu Sato +8
We study how single-crystal chromium films of uniform thickness on W(110) substrates are converted to arrays of three-dimensional (3D) Cr islands during annealing. We use low-energ…
Defects of graphene on Ir(111): rotational domains and ridges
Elena Loginova, Shu Nie, Konrad Thurmer +2
We use low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM), low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to study different orientations of single-layer graphen…
