Using the X-ray standing wave method, scanning tunneling microscopy, low energy electron
diffraction, and density functional theory, we precisely determine the lateral and vertical …

Because of the electron deficiency, freestanding honeycomb borophene (HB) is predicted to
be kinetically unstable. Very recently, the honeycomb phase of two-dimensional boron …

New opportunities for structural and electronic properties engineering of graphene can be
achieved by tuning the interfacial interaction, which is ruled by the interplay between d-band …

Moiré technique is a powerful, important and effective tool for scientific research, from the
nano-scale to the macro-scale, which is essentially the interference between two or more …

The interaction of Ag atoms with graphene moiré on Rh (111) was studied by scanning
tunneling microscopy. Upon adsorption at 15 K, the Ag atoms existed mainly as monomers …
