Local electronic properties of the graphene-protected giant Rashba-split BiAg2 surface

J. Tesch, E. Voloshina, M. Jubitz, Yu. Dedkov, and M. Fonin

Phys. Rev. B 95, 155428 (2017).

We report the preparation of an interface between graphene and a strong Rashba-split BiAg2 surface alloy and an investigation of its structure as well as the electronic properties by means of scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations. Upon evaluation of the quasiparticle…

Impurity scattering and size quantization effects in a single graphene nanoflake

J. Tesch, P. Leicht, F. Blumenschein, L. Gragnaniello, A. Bergvall, T. Löfwander, and M. Fonin

Phys. Rev. B 95, 155428 (2017).

By using Fourier-transform scanning tunneling spectroscopy we measure the interference patterns produced by the impurity scattering of confined Dirac quasiparticles in epitaxial graphene nanoflakes. Upon comparison of the experimental results with tight-binding calculations of realistic…
