We present a chemical way of changing the alignment of the induced magnetic moment of graphene supported on a Ni(111) surface through hydrogenation. For the pristine graphene on a Ni(111) surface, the magnetic moments on ...

Using ab initio density functional theory we study the structure and electronic properties of hexagonal BN (h-BN) on Ni(111) and Co(0001) surfaces. Our calculations show that while dispersion interactions play an important ...

Achieving visible photoluminescence (PL) from hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets (hBN-ns) is synthetically very much challenging due to its intrinsically high electronic band gap. We have explored the concept of molecular ...

Layered materials form an interesting class of materials wherein, atoms within the plane of the material interacts amongst themselves with strong covalent bonds, while along the direction normal to the plane, the interaction ...
