Driving chemical interactions at graphene-germanium van der Waals interfaces via thermal annealing

Journal Article Kiraly, Brian ; Mannix, Andrew J. ; Jacobberger, Robert M. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Despite its extraordinary charge carrier mobility, the lack of an electronic bandgap in graphene limits its utilization in electronic devices. To overcome this issue, researchers have attempted to chemically modify the pristine graphene lattice in order to engineer its electronic bandstructure. While significant progress has been achieved, aggressive chemistries are often employed that are difficult to pattern and control. In an effort to overcome this issue, here we utilize the well-defined van der Waals interface between crystalline Ge(110) and epitaxial graphene to template covalent chemistry. In particular, by annealing atomically pristine graphene-germanium interfaces synthesized by chemical vapor deposition under ultra-highmore »« less

Monolithic III-V Nanowire Solar Cells on Graphene via Direct van der Waals Epitaxy

Journal Article Mohseni, Parsian K. ; Behnam, Ashkan ; Wood, Joshua D. ; ... - Advanced Materials

Novel solar cells, based on dense arrays of InGaAs nanowires, are grown directly on graphene. Furthermore, graphene serves as the conductive back contact and growth template for van der Waals epitaxial assembly of vertical nanowires. Although far from being the optimum material, core-shell p–n junction In0.25Ga0.75As nanowire arrays demonstrate a conversion efficiency of 2.51%, representing a new record for substrate-free, III-V nanowire-based solar cells.

A van der Waals density functional study of adenine on graphene: Single molecular adsorption and overlayer binding

Journal Article Berland, Kristian ; Cooper, Valentino R ; Langreth, David C. ; ... - Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter

The adsorption of an adenine molecule on graphene is studied using a first-principles van der Waals functional (vdW-DF) [Dion et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 246401 (2004)]. The cohesive energy of an ordered adenine overlayer is also estimated. For the adsorption of a single molecule, we determine the optimal binding configuration and adsorption energy by translating and rotating the molecule. The adsorption energy for a single molecule of adenine is found to be 711 meV, which is close to the calculated adsorption energy of the similar-sized naphthalene. Based on the single molecular binding configuration, we estimate the cohesive energy ofmore »« less

Cooperative Interplay of van der Waals Forces and Quantum Nuclear Effects on Adsorption: H at Graphene and at Coronene

Journal Article Davidson, Erlend R. M. ; Klimeš, Jiří ; Alfè, Dario ; ... - ACS Nano

The energetic barriers that atoms and molecules typically experience when binding to surfaces are incredibly important to a myriad of chemical and physical processes. Yet, these barriers are difficult to describe accurately with current computer simulation approaches. Two prominent contemporary challenges faced by simulation are the role of van der Waals forces and nuclear quantum effects. In this work, we examine the widely studied model systems of hydrogen on graphene and coronene using a van der Waals inclusive density functional theory approach together with path integral molecular dynamics at 50 K. We find that both van der Waals and quantummore »« less
