AI总结:

本文利用像差校正扫描透射电子显微镜研究石墨烯上钛纳米岛的生长,发现30°外延关系、约3.7%界面应变及钛以1-2层团簇而非完全润湿方式生长,并证实存在电荷转移。

摘要:

金属与石墨烯之间质量较差的界面会引起非线性并损害石墨烯器件中的载流子迁移率。在此,我们使用像差校正扫描透射电子显微镜观察在原子级清洁石墨烯上生长的六方密排钛纳米岛,并确定两种晶格之间存在30°的外延关系。由于钛在石墨烯上的强结合,在单层极限下,钛的晶格常数由石墨烯外延调控,与块体钛相比,应变约为3.7%,达到0.306(3) nm。由此产生的界面应变略大于密度泛函理论计算所预测的值。我们的早期生长阶段研究还揭示,与普遍假设相反,钛并未完全润湿石墨烯,而是最初以厚度为1-2层的团簇形式生长。拉曼光谱表明钛岛与石墨烯衬底之间存在电荷转移。

英文摘要:

Poor quality interfaces between metal and graphene cause non-linearity and impair the carrier mobility in graphene devices. Here, we use aberration corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy to observe hexagonally close-packed Ti nano-islands grown on atomically clean graphene, and establish a 30° epitaxial relationship between the lattices. Due to the strong binding of Ti on graphene, at the limit of a monolayer, the Ti lattice constant is mediated by the graphene epitaxy, and compared to bulk Ti, is strained by ca. 3.7% to a value of 0.306(3) nm. The resulting interfacial strain is slightly greater than what has been predicted by density functional theory calculations. Our early growth stage investigations also reveal that, in contrast to widespread assumptions, Ti does not fully wet graphene but grows initially in clusters with a thickness of 1-2 layers. Raman spectroscopy implies charge transfer between the Ti islands and graphene substrate.
