Characterization of nanometer-sized, mechanically exfoliated graphene on the H-passivated Si(100) surface using scanning tunnelling microscopy
We have developed a method for depositing graphene monolayers and bilayers
with minimum lateral dimensions of 2-10 nm by the mechanical exfoliation of
graphite onto the Si(100)-2x1:H surface. Room temperature, ultra-high vacuum
(UHV) tunnelling spectroscopy measurements of nanometer-sized single-layer
graphene reveal a size dependent energy gap ranging from 0.1-1 eV. Furthermore,
the number of graphene layers can be directly determined from scanning
tunnelling microscopy (STM) topographic contours. This atomistic study provides
an experimental basis for probing the electronic structure of nanometer-sized
graphene which can assist the development of graphene-based nanoelectronics.Comment: Accepted for publication in Nanotechnolog
Method for Flavor Tagging in Neutral B Meson Decays
A method is proposed for tagging the flavor of neutral mesons in the
study of CP-violating decay asymmetries. The method makes use of a possible
difference in interactions in or systems with isospins 1/2
and 3/2, and would be particularly clean if the systems can be
detected as ``'' resonances.Comment: Submitted to Phys. Rev. D. 11 pages, LaTeX, Technion-PH-92-40 / PITHA
