Description:
Since its first successful preparation in 2004, graphene has been extensively studied because of its outstanding mechanical, thermal and electronic properties. Graphene is an especially interesting material because of its zero-bandgap electronic structure, which puts it right on the edge between metals and semiconductors. Up to this point, non-adiabatic interactions have only been observed on metal surfaces. In this work, vibrational excitation of NO was investigated as a probe for non-adiabatic interactions by scattering a molecular beam of NO from epitaxial graphene on Pt(111) (Gr/Pt) and...
