Graphene on silicon: effects of the silicon surface orientation on the work function and carrier density of graphene

Y. W. Sun, D. Holec, D. Gehringer +4

Density functional theory has been employed to study graphene on the (111), (100) and (110) surfaces of silicon (Si) substrates. There are several interesting findings. First, carb…

Enhanced fracture toughness in ceramic superlattice thin films: on the role of coherency stresses and misfit dislocations

Antonia Wagner, David Holec, Paul Heinz Mayrhofer +1

Superlattice (SL) thin films composed of refractory ceramics unite extremely high hardness and enhanced fracture toughness; a material combination often being mutually exclusive. W…
