The atomic and electronic structures of a graphene monolayer on a Ru(0001) surface under compressive strain are investigated by using first-principles calculations.Three models of graphene monolayers with different carbon periodicities due to the lattice mismatch are proposed in the presence and the absence of the Ru(0001) substrate separately.Considering the strain induced by the lattice mismatch,we optimize the atomic structures and investigate the electronic properties of the graphene.Our calculation results show that the graphene layers turn into periodic corrugations and there exist strong chemical bonds in the interface between the graphene N × N superlattice and the substrate.The strain does not induce significant changes in electronic structure.Furthermore,the results calculated in the local density approximation(LDA) are compared with those obtained in the generalized gradient approximation(GGA),showing that the LDA results are more reasonable than the GGA results when only two substrate layers are used in calculation.  相似文献

As a representative of small aromatic molecules, triphenylene(TP) has markedly high carrier mobility and is an ideal precursor for building graphene nanostructures. We mainly investigated the adsorption behavior of TP molecules on Ru(0001) by using scanning tunneling microscopy(STM). In submonolayer regime, TP molecules are randomly dispersed on Ru(0001) and the TP overlayer can be thoroughly dehydrogenated and converted into graphene islands at 700 K. Due to weak interaction between TP molecules and graphene, the grooves formed among graphene islands have confinement effect on TP molecules. TP adopts a flat-lying adsorption mode and has two adsorption configurations with the 3-fold molecular axis aligned almost parallel or antiparallel to the ■ direction of the substrate. At TP coverages of 0.6 monolayer(ML)and 0.8 ML, the orientational distributions of the two adsorption configurations are equal. At about 1.0 ML, we find the coexistence of locally ordered and disordered phases. The ordered phase includes two sets of different superstructures with the symmetries of ■R23.41° and p(4 × 4), respectively. The adsorption behavior of TP on Ru(0001) can be attributed to the delicate balance between molecule–substrate and molecule–molecule interactions.  相似文献

The atomic and electronic structures of Pb bilayer/Pt(111) are investigated with two theoretical calculations.We find that the stable (2 × 2)/(3 × 3) Pb/Pt(111) structure is a promising candidate for being used as a template with self-organized ordered Pb semi-cluster array on the first Pb monolayer.This stable structure can realize the ordered Au single-atom array around the Pb semi-clusters that can cause selective adsorption of noble atoms.The size of Pb magic number semi-cluster plays a more important role in determining the periodicity of the template than the lattice constant misfit between the substrate and the overlayer.This leads to quite a different periodicity between the two stable templates,which are (2 × 2)/(3 × 3) Pb/Pt(111) and Pb/Cu(111).Therefore,by considering the size of the stable semi-clusters and carefully selecting different substrate materials,we can tune the density of Pb semi-clusters as the nucleation points and then tune the periodicity of the stable template.  相似文献

The structures of Pt clusters on nitrogen-,boron-,silicon-doped graphenes are theoretically studied using densityfunctional theory.These dopants(nitrogen,boron and silicon) each do not induce a local curvature in the graphene and the doped graphenes all retain their planar form.The formation energy of the silicon-graphene system is lower than those of the nitrogen-,boron-doped graphenes,indicating that the silicon atom is easier to incorporate into the graphene.All the substitutional impurities enhance the interaction between the Pt atom and the graphene.The adsorption energy of a Pt adsorbed on the silicon-doped graphene is much higher than those on the nitrogen-and boron-doped graphenes.The doped silicon atom can provide more charges to enhance the Pt-graphene interaction and the formation of Pt clusters each with a large size.The stable structures of Pt clusters on the doped-graphenes are dimeric,triangle and tetrahedron with the increase of the Pt coverage.Of all the studied structures,the tetrahedron is the most stable cluster which has the least influence on the planar surface of doped-graphene.  相似文献

In marginally twisted bilayer graphene, the Moiré pattern consists of the maximized AB(BA) stacking regions,minimized AA stacking regions and triangular networks of domain walls. Here we realize the strain-modulated electronic structures of marginally twisted bilayer graphene by scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy and density functional theory(DFT) calculations. The experimental data show four peaks near the Fermi energy at the AA regions. DFT calculations indicate that the two new peaks ...  相似文献

Based on the Anderson impurity model and self-consistent approach, we investigate the condition for the screening of a local magnetic moment by electrons in graphene and the influence of the moment on electronic properties of the system. The results of numerical calculations carried out on a finite sheet of graphene show that when the Fermi energy is above the single occupancy energy and below the double occupancy energy of the local impurity, a magnetic state is possible. A phase diagram in a parameter space spanned by the Coulomb energy U and the Fermi energy is obtained to distinguish the parameter regions for the magnetic and nonmagnetic states of the impurity. We find that the combined effect of the impurity and finite size effect results in a large charge density near the edges of the finite graphene sheet. The density of states exhibits a peak at the Dirac point which is caused by the appearance of the edge states localized at the zigzag edges of the sheet.  相似文献

The effects of uniaxial tensile strain on the structural and electronic properties of positively charged oxygen vacancy defects in amorphous silica(a-SiO2)are systematically investigated using ab-initio calculation based on density functional theory.Four types of positively charged oxygen vacancy defects,namely the dimer,unpuckered,and puckered four-fold(4×),and puckered five-fold(5×)configurations have been investigated.It is shown by the calculations that applying uniaxial tensile strain can lead to irreversible transitions of defect structures,which can be identified from the fluctuations of the curves of relative total energy versus strain.Driven by strain,a positively charged dimer configuration may relax into a puckered 5×configuration,and an unpuckered configuration may relax into either a puckered 4×configuration or a forward-oriented configuration.Accordingly,the Fermi contacts of the defects remarkably increase and the defect levels shift under strain.The Fermi contacts of the puckered configurations also increase under strain to the values close to that of Eα′center in a-SiO2.In addition,it is shown by the calculations that the relaxation channels of the puckered configurations after electron recombination are sensitive to strain,that is,those configurations are more likely to relax into a two-fold coordinated Si structure or to hold a puckered structure under strain,both of which may raise up the thermodynamic charge-state transition levels of the defects into Si band gap.As strain induces more puckered configurations with the transition levels in Si band gap,it may facilitate directly the development of oxide charge accumulation and indirectly that of interface charge accumulation by promoting proton generation under ionization radiation.This work sheds a light on understanding the strain effect on ionization damage at an atomic scale.  相似文献

Using first-principles calculations,we systematically study the dissociations of O2 molecules on different ultrathin Pb(111) films.According to our previous work revealing the molecular adsorption precursor states for O2,we further explore why there are two nearly degenerate adsorption states on Pb(111) ultrathin films,but no precursor adsorption states existing at all on Mg(0001) and Al(111) surfaces.The reason is concluded to be the different surface electronic structures.For the O2 dissociation,we consider both the reaction channels from gas-like and molecularly adsorbed O2 molecules.We find that the energy barrier for O2 dissociation from the molecular adsorption precursor states is always smaller than that from O2 gas.The most energetically favorable dissociation process is found to be the same on different Pb(111) films,and the energy barriers are found to be influenced by the quantum size effects of Pb(111) films.  相似文献

High quality sub-monolayer, monolayer, and bilayer graphene were grown on Ru(0001). For the sub-monolayer graphene, the size of graphene islands with zigzag edges can be controlled by the dose of ethylene exposure. By increasing the dose of ethylene to 100 Langmuir at a high substrate temperature(800℃), high quality single-crystalline monolayer graphene was synthesized on Ru(0001). High quality bilayer graphene was formed by further increasing the dose of ethylene while reducing the cooling rate to 5℃/min. Raman spectroscopy revealed the vibrational states of graphene, G and 2D peaks appeared only in the bilayer graphene, which demonstrates that it behaves as the intrinsic graphene. Our present work affords methods to produce high quality sub-monolayer, monolayer, and bilayer graphene, both for basic research and applications.  相似文献

The toxicity and degradation of hybrid lead-halide perovskites hinder their extensive applications.It is thus of great importance to explore non-toxic alternative materials with excellent stability and optoelectronic property.We investigate the atomic structures and optoelectronic properties of non-toxic organic tin bromide perovskites(OTBP)with one/zerodimensional(1D/0D)structures by first-principles calculations.The calculated atomic structures show that the 1D/0D OTBPs are stable and the structure of inorganic octahedra in 0D is higher order than that in 1D.Moreover,the origination of exceptional purity emitting light in experiments is explained based on the calculated electronic structure.  相似文献

We calculate the configurations, electronic structures, vibrational properties at the coronene/Ru(0001) interface, and adsorption of a single Pt atom on coronene/Ru(0001) based on density functional theory calculations. The geometric structures and electronic structures of the coronene on Ru(0001) are compared with those of the graphene/Ru(0001). The results show that the coronene/Ru(0001) can be a simplified model system used to describe the interaction between graphene and ruthenium. Further calculations of the vibrational properties of coronene molecule adsorbed on Ru(0001) suggest that the phonon properties of differently corrugated regions of graphene on Ru(0001) are different. This model system is also used to investigate the selective adsorption of Pt atoms on graphene/Ru(0001). The configurations of Pt on coronene/Ru(0001) with the lowest binding energy give clues to explain the experimental observation that a Pt cluster selectively adsorbs on the second highest regions of graphene/Ru(0001). This work provides a simple model for understanding the adsorption properties and vibrational properties of graphene on Ru(0001) substrate.  相似文献

The electronic structures of Au monolayers on the Ru(0001) and graphene-coated Ru(0001) surfaces have been calculated by DFT method using the supercell (repeated-slab) approach. The local densities of states (LDOS) and band structures of the monolayer and bilayer Au films adsorbed on the graphene/Ru(0001) and those of free hexagonal Au layers are found to be very similar. This result indicates that the monolayer graphene almost completely screens the Au layers from the Ru(0001) substrate surface, so that electronic properties of Au films adsorbed on graphene are determined predominantly by the electronic structure of the Au adlayers, essentially independent on the electronic structure of the substrate surface.  相似文献

First principles calculations play a significant role in developing and optimizing new energy storage and conversion materials especially at the nanoscale. In this work, the structural, energetics and, electronic properties of adsorbed Pt atom onto two-dimensional graphene, hexagonal BN (h-BN) and SiC (h-SiC) sheets have been investigated at DFT–B3LYP level of theory using coronene molecule as a suitable model. Spin-polarization and model size effects on the Pt adsorption properties have also been evaluated. Various positions for establishing Pt atom on the selected substrates have been considered and full structural optimization was carried out for all selected systems. The adsorption energies, electronic structures and charge population analysis indicated that in all the studied structures there were strong interaction between two interacting entities. It was also found that the adsorption ability of h-SiC is much stronger than the other counterparts with adsorption energy of 3.828 eV.We have also examined the O2 adsorption properties of Pt-decorated graphene, h-BN and h-SiC sheets for possible tunability of O2 adsorption strength of systems under study. We found that h-SiC sheet possess a weakened O2 adsorption energy among the selected substrates. In view of the strong stability of adsorbed Pt atom on h-SiC sheet and relatively weaker O2 adsorption energy, one can expect that h-SiC might be a promising material for support assistant as well as increasing the catalytic activity of Pt atoms compared to graphene and h-BN substrates. This may attribute to preventing aggregating of Pt atoms due to the strong fastening nature of the h-SiC sheet and also by affording a balance in the O2 adsorption strength that lead to enhanced catalyst turnover. Therefore, our first principles findings offer a unique opportunity for design and applications of SiC-based nanoscale supports in fuel cell technology.  相似文献

The adsorption energies, stable configurations, electronic structures, and magnetic properties of the graphene with noble metal (NM=Pt, Ag, and Au) atom adsorption were investigated using first-principles density-functional theory. It is found that the bridge site is the most stable adsorption site for the Pt adatom; the Ag adatom can be stabilized almost equally at the bridge or the top site, while the Au adatom prefers to be adsorbed at top site. The Pt-graphene interaction is stronger than the interaction of Ag-graphene and Au-graphene, since the Pt atom has an unsaturated electronic d-shell (d9s1). While there is no net magnetic moment for the Pt adatom, the Ag and Au adatoms still exhibit magnetic character on the graphene. The magnetic moments of the NM-graphene systems may be quenched (e.g., Pt-graphene), reduced (e.g., Ag-graphene) or not changed (e.g., Au-graphene) as compared with the values before adsorption. Therefore, the magnetic character of the adatom-graphene system can be turned by adsorbing different NM atoms on the graphene.  相似文献

By studying the adsorption of CO on up to 30 layers of Pt deposited on Ru(0001) the influence of surface strain on the adsorption energy has been disentangled from the residual chemical interaction with the substrate. While the electronic influence of the substrate has largely vanished for three Pt layers, the effect of surface strain due to the 2.5% lattice mismatch of Pt and Ru remains initially intact and is only gradually released for n>/=5 Pt layers. Electronic structure calculations confirm the experimental observations, in particular, the dramatic decrease of the CO adsorption energy on a single Pt layer which is caused by the strong Pt-Ru interlayer coupling.  相似文献

Recently, atomic resolved scanning tunneling microscopy investigations revealed that, depending on the substrate (Ni(111), Ru(0001), Ir(111), Pt(111), Rh(111)), graphene overlayer might present regular corrugation patterns, with periodically repeated units of a few nanometers. Variations of the interactions at the interface and the modulation of the local electronic properties are associated with the exact atomic arrangement of the carbon pairs with respect to the metal atoms of the substrate. Better understanding of the atomic structure and of the chemical bonding between graphene and the underlying transition metal is motivated by the fundamental scientific relevance of such systems, but it is also crucial in the perspective of possible applications. With the present work, we propose model systems for the two interfaces showing the most pronounced corrugation patterns, i.e. graphene/Ru(0001) and graphene/Rh(111). Our goal is to understand the nature of the interactions by means of electronic structure calculations based on Density Functional Theory. Our simulations qualitatively reproduce very well experimental results such as the STM topographies and the electrostatic potential maps, and quantitatively provide the closest agreement that has been published so far. The detailed analysis of the electronic structure at the interface highlights similarities and differences by changing the supporting transition metal. Our results point to a fundamental role of the hybridization between the π orbitals of graphene with the d band of the metal in determining the specific corrugation of the adsorbed monolayer. It is shown that differences in the response of the graphene electronic structure to the interaction with the metal can hinder the hybridization and lead to substantially different structures.  相似文献

First-principles total energy calculations are performed to investigate the energetics and electronic structures of graphene adsorbed on both an oxygen-terminated SiO2 (0001) surface and a fully hydroxylated SiO2 (0001) surface. We find that there are several stable adsorption sites for graphene on both O-terminated and hydroxylated SiO2 surfaces. The binding energy in the most stable geometry is found to be 15 meV per C atom, indicating a weak interaction between graphene and SiO2 (0001) surfaces. We also find that the graphene adsorbed on SiO2 is a semiconductor irrespective of the adsorption arrangement due to the variation of on-site energy induced by the SiO2 substrate.  相似文献

The interest in graphene (a carbon monolayer) adsorbed on metal surfaces goes back to the 60's, long before isolated graphene was produced in the laboratory. Owing to the carbon-metal interaction and the lattice mismatch between the carbon monolayer and the metal surface, graphene usually adopts a rippled structure, known as moiré, that confers it interesting electronic properties not present in isolated graphene. These moiré structures can be used as versatile templates where to adsorb, isolate and assemble organic-molecule structures with some desired geometric and electronic properties. In this review, we first describe the main experimental techniques and the theoretical methods currently available to produce and characterize these complex systems. Then, we review the diversity of moiré structures that have been reported in the literature and the consequences for the electronic properties of graphene, attending to the magnitude of the lattice mismatch and the type of interaction, chemical or physical, between graphene and the metal surface. Subsequently, we address the problem of the adsorption of single organic molecules and then of several ones, from dimers to complete monolayers, describing both the different arrangements that these molecules can adopt as well as their physical and chemical properties. We pay a special attention to graphene/Ru(0001) due to its exceptional electronic properties, which have been used to induce long-range magnetic order in tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) monolayers, to catalyze the (reversible) reaction between acetonitrile and TCNQ molecules and to efficiently photogenerate large acenes.  相似文献
