New Developments in Surface Science • Complex 2D Systems (Graphene and beyond…) • Biosurfaces • Magnetic systems (new sort of…)

2-D Systems Beyond Graphene: • BN, MoSe2, MoS2…. • Stacks combining the above with graphene • Spintronics and Graphene, BN, etc.

Note, graphene low DOS yields much greater increase in EF for given Vg Application of VBinduces tunneling between graphene layers
Note, relatively small increase in I with Vg. (interf. Charge screening? MoS2 give higher on/off ratios Britnell, et al., Science 335 (2012) 947
Tunneling transit time ~ femtoseconds, better than electron transit time in modern planar FETs Conclusion: Graphene/BN And Graphene/MoS2 (MoSe2) stacks have exciting photonic/nanoelectronic applications.
Alternative proposed design for a graphene tunneling transistor (BN could be used as the base…) Graphene has band gap in vertical direction: monolayer thickness favors ballistic transport with applied bias High on/off ratios (> 105) and THZ switching predicted in simulations
Issues: • Orbital overlap/hybridization—band gap formation • Growth • Multilayer BN, precise thickness control?? • Graphene on BN (or MoS2) and vice versa • 3. Interfacial Effects, Charge transfer, mass transfer, etc.
WHY A BAND GAP? LEED is C3V: A site/B sites different electron densities Degeneracy of HOMO,LUMO at Dirac Point due to chemical equivalency of A and B lattice sites = +1 = -1/2 A , B equivalent (C6v) no band gap k B B A A A ≠ B (C3V) band gap HOMO and LUMO Orbitals in Graphene at Dirac point (adopted from Cox: The Electronic Structure and Chemistry of Solids (1991) k
Giovanneti, et al., DFT calcns on graphene/BN interface Lowest energy interfacial structure:
Band gap of 0.05 eV predicted. How does this compare to RT? Prediction, O.1 eV band gap for graphene on Cu, but huge charge transfer.
Isolated Graphene Sheet Graphene/BN—band gap, with Fermi level in middle of gap E EF EF k Eg Giovanetti, et al; DFT results Graphene on Cu: charge transfer masks the gap, moves Fermi level well above the gap EF Eg
Cu 3d/BN π mixing: weaker than in Ni (Cu d’s more localized)
Can we grow BN multilayers? Yes! Atomic layer deposition (see Ferguson, et al. Thin Sol. Films 413 (2002) 16 BCl2 BCl3 + (surface) BCl2(ads) BCl2(ads) + NH3 B-N-H(ads) + 2HCl(desorbed) BNH(ads) + BCl3 B-N-B-Cl2 + HCl(desorbed) BNBCl2 + NH3 BNBN BNH
BN/Si(111): ALD Growth Characteristics BN films are stoichiometric (1:1) for thin films (<5 ML) and become slightly B-rich (?) as film thickness increases AMC 2012
h-BN(0001): ALD/BCl3+NH3 vs CVD/Borazine ALD: Epitaxial Multilayers CVD/Borazine: Flat or puckered monolayers Ru(0001) Ni(111) We need multilayers for applications, and not just on Ru! AMC 2012

BN bilayer on CoSi2(111) 4 BCl3/NH3 cycles at 550 K, anneal to 850 K in UHV AMC 2012
Anneal of BN/CoSi2 at 1000K: LEED analysis: BN implant lattice constant =2.5(±0.1)Å CoSi2 implant lattice constant=3.8(±0.1)Å Expected values E=78ev 243 187
Interesting results, but: • Anneal to 1000 K to induce order, but CoSi2 is slightly unstable at this temp. (slow Co diffusion) • Can we go to lower temperatures, other silicides? • Carbon buildup is worrisome. • Clean up our act? • Heteroepitaxy (BN 3x3 vs. silicide 2x2) demonstrated. • What about BN/transition metals vs. silicides? • Spintronics? {Spin filtering predicted in MTJs} AMC 2012
