摘要:

对通常含有残余碳杂质的Ru金属进行退火提供了一种在宏观尺度上在Ru(0001)上生长石墨烯的简便方法。石墨烯/Ru(0001)界面的两个超结构的周期分别为3.0 nm和2.7 nm,先前已经通过扫描隧道显微镜观察到。使用第一性原理密度泛函理论,我们优化了所观察到的超结构,并发现两种超结构的Ru原子顶部的C原子的界面C-Ru键合,这导致石墨烯片屈曲并在石墨烯片内形成高度约1.7 A的周期性隆起。石墨烯片的平坦区域(其在顶部Ru层上方2.2-2.3 A并且具有占据顶部位点的更多C原子)与衬底的相互作用比驼峰区域更强。我们发现,3.0纳米的超结构比2.7纳米的超结构的界面粘附力强得多,这表明前者是结晶更稳定的相。我们解释了3.0纳米超结构的稳定性之间的相互作用C-Ru键和晶格匹配。

英文摘要:

Annealing the Ru metal that typically contains residual carbon impurities offers a facile way to grow graphene on Ru(0001) at the macroscopic scale. Two superstructures of the graphene/Ru(0001) interface with periodicities of 3.0-nm and 2.7-nm, respectively, have been previously observed by scanning tunneling microscopy. Using first-principles density functional theory, we optimized the observed superstructures and found interfacial C-Ru bonding of C atoms atop Ru atoms for both superstructures, which causes the graphene sheet to buckle and form periodic humps of ~1.7 A in height within the graphene sheet. The flat region of the graphene sheet, which is 2.2-2.3 A above the top Ru layer and has more C atoms occupying the atop sites, interacts more strongly with the substrate than does the hump region. We found that interfacial adhesion is much stronger for the 3.0-nm superstructure than for the 2.7-nm superstructure, suggesting that the former is the thermodynamically more stable phase. We explained the 3.0-nm superstructure's stability in terms of the interplay between C-Ru bonding and lattice matching.
