Local Probe Investigation of Metal Adsorbates on a Gated Graphene Device
ORAL
Abstract
Understanding the scattering properties of electrons from adsorbates and defects in graphene is important for controlling the behavior of different graphene nanostructure-based devices. Here we report a scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy study of metal adsorbates on a single monolayer of graphene. In our experiments the graphene is placed on a layer of insulating SiO$_{2}$ that sits above a doped silicon back-gate electrode. We will discuss our observations of the electronic local density in the vicinity of metal atoms, as well as how these properties respond to electrical gating of the graphene monolayer with respect to the silicon back-gate electrode.
