Journal ArticleDOI

Imaging two-dimensional generalized Wigner crystals.

TL;DR: In this paper, the 2D Wigner crystal lattice was directly visualized in real-space using a specially designed non-invasive STM spectroscopy technique, which employs a graphene sensing layer held close to the WSe2/WS2 superlattice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis of borophane polymorphs through hydrogenation of borophene.

TL;DR: In this paper, the most prevalent borophane polymorph is shown to possess a combination of two-center two-electron boron-hydrogen and three-center-twoelectron BORON-HOG-boron bonds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Imaging moir\'e flat bands in 3D reconstructed WSe2/WS2 superlattices

TL;DR: The results reveal that the strain redistribution and 3D buckling in TMD heterostructures dominate the effective moiré potential and the corresponding moirÉ flat bands at the Brillouin zone K points.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geometric imaging of borophene polymorphs with functionalized probes.

TL;DR: Borophene, or 2D boron, is highly polymorphic with many predicted lattice arrangements, complicating the identification of its atomic structure, so functionalized-tip scanning probe microscopy is used to directly resolve the atomic lattice structures of several boropane polymorphs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rotational and vibrational excitations of a hydrogen molecule trapped within a nanocavity of tunable dimension.

TL;DR: The rotational and vibrational transitions of a hydrogen molecule weakly adsorbed on the Au(110) surface at 10 K were detected by inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy with a scanning tunneling microscope and indicate that the molecule behaves as a three-dimensional rigid rotor trapped within the tunnel junction.
