Van der Waals heteroepitaxy of air stable quasi-free standing silicene layers on CVD epitaxial graphene/6H-SiC

Zouhour Ben Jabra, Mathieu Abel, Filippo Fabbri +8

Graphene, consisting of an inert, thermally stable material with an atomically flat, dangling bond-free surface is by essence an ideal template layer for van der Waals heteroepitax…

Hydrogen-mediated CVD epitaxy of Graphene on SiC: growth mechanism and atomic configuration

Zouhour Ben Jabra, Isabelle Berbezier, Adrien Michon +7

Despite the large literature focused on the growth of graphene (Gr) on 6H-SiC(0001) by chemical vapour deposition (CVD), some important issues have not been solved and full wafer s…

Stoichiometric Bi2Se3 Topological Insulator Ultra-Thin Films Obtained Through a New Fabrication Process for Optoelectronic Applications

Matteo Salvato, Mattia Scagliotti, Maurizio De Crescenzi +7

A new fabrication process is developed for growing Bi2Se3 topological insulators in the form of nanowires/nanobelts and ultra-thin films. It consists of two consecutive procedures:…

Scanning tunneling microscopy and Raman evidences of silicene nanosheets intercalated into graphite surface at room temperature

Ihor Kupchak, Filippo Fabbri, Maurizio De Crescenzi +6

Highly oriented pyrolitic graphite (HOPG) is an inert substrate with a structural honeycomb lattice, well suited for the growth of two-dimensional (2D) silicene layer. It was repor…

Super-Hydrophobic Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube Coatings for Stainless Steel

Francesco De Nicola, Paola Castrucci, Manuela Scarselli +3

We have taken advantage of the native surface roughness and the iron content of AISI 316 stainless steel to direct grow multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) random networks by chem…

Exploiting the Hierarchical Morphology of Single-Walled and Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube Films for Highly Hydrophobic Coatings

Francesco De Nicola, Paola Castrucci, Manuela Scarselli +3

Self-assembled hierarchical solid surfaces are very interesting for wetting phenomena, as observed in a variety of natural and artificial surfaces. Here, we report single-walled (S…
