Strain-Driven Moiré Superstructures of Epitaxial Graphene on Transition Metal Surfaces

A simple model to explain graphene Moirés on single crystal metal surfaces Graphene revealed to be the most outstanding material of the decade. Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) images have proved the existence of Moiré superstructures on epitaxial graphene due to the spatial coincidence of the atomic periodicity of the graphene…

On-surface synthesis of cyclic organic molecules

A tutorial  Chemical Society Review On-surface synthesis can be regarded as an efficient means to build new molecular species by using bottom-up strategies. Recently, a collection of different reactions leading to large tailor-made organic molecules on single-crystal metal surfaces has been reported. The fundamental mechanisms controlling these reactions can be…
