Controlling Mn Depth Profiles in GaMnAs During High-Temperature Molecular Beam Epitaxial Growth
P. Xu, D. Qi, M. L. Ackerman +2
Mn-doped GaAs thin films were grown at a high substrate temperature of 580 C. During the growth process, the Mn cell temperature was ramped at different rates, resulting in a varie…
Atomic Control of Strain in Freestanding Graphene
P. Xu, Y. Yang, S. D. Barber +8
In this study, we describe a new experimental approach based on constant-current scanning tunneling spectroscopy to controllably and reversibly pull freestanding graphene membranes…
High-Percentage Success Method for Preparing and Pre-Evaluating Tungsten Tips for Atomic-Resolution Scanning Tunneling Microscopy
J. K. Schoelz, P. Xu, S. D. Barber +5
A custom double-lamella method is presented for electrochemically etching tungsten wire for use as tips in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). For comparison, tips were also manuf…
A Pathway between Bernal and Rhombohedral Stacked Graphene Layers with Scanning Tunneling Microscopy
P. Xu, Y. Yang, D. Qi +7
Horizontal shifts in the top layer of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite, induced by a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tip, are presented. Excellent agreement is found between…
Electromechanical properties of freestanding graphene functionalized with tin oxide (SnO2) nanoparticles
L. Dong, J. Hansen, P. Xu +5
Freestanding graphene membranes were functionalized with SnO2 nanoparticles. A detailed procedure providing uniform coverage and chemical synthesis is presented. Elemental composit…
Electronic transition from graphite to graphene via controlled movement of the top layer with scanning tunneling microscopy
P. Xu, Y. Yang, D. Qi +5
A series of measurements using a technique called electrostatic-manipulation scanning tunneling microscopy (EM-STM) were performed on a highly-oriented pyrolytic graphite surface.…
