Effect of hydrogen passivation on the decoupling of graphene on SiC(0001) substrate: First-principles calculations

Abstract Intercalation of hydrogen is important for understanding the decoupling of graphene from SiC(0001) substrate. Employing first-principles calculations, we have systematically studied the decoupling of graphene from SiC surface by H atoms intercalation from graphene boundary. It is found the...
