TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the main techniques for production and processing of graphene and related materials (GRMs), as well as the key characterization procedures, adopting a 'hands-on' approach, providing practical details and procedures as derived from literature and from the authors' experience, in order to enable the reader to reproduce the results.

TL;DR: It is shown that decorating monolayer graphene with a layer of lithium atoms enhances the electron–phonon coupling to the point where a superconducting state can be stabilized at low temperature, the first observation, to the authors' knowledge, of superconductivity in monolayers graphene.

TL;DR: In this paper, the electronic structure of decoupled graphene on SiC(0001) can be tailored by introducing atomically thin layers of germanium at the interface, which shows the characteristic graphene pi bands as displayed by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) studies of the buffer layer and of quasi-free-standing monolayer graphene (QFMLG) that is obtained by decoupling the buffer-layer from the SiC(0001) substrate by means of hydrogen intercalation.

TL;DR: XMCD proves Fe and Co adatoms to be paramagnetic and to exhibit an out-of-plane easy axis in agreement with theory, and experimentally finds a nonmagnetic ground state for Ni monomers while an increasing cluster size leads to sizeable magnetic moments.
