Title: Optical Imaging and Spectroscopy of Atomically Precise Armchair Graphene Nanoribbons. Author: Zhao S, Barin GB, Cao T, Overbeck J, Darawish R, Lyu T, Drapcho S, Wang S, Dumslaff T, Narita A, Calame M, Müllen K, Louie SG, Ruffieux P, Fasel R, Wang F. Journal: Nano Lett; 2020 Feb 12; 20(2):1124-1130. PubMed ID: 31916444. Abstract: We report the optical imaging and absorption spectroscopy on atomically precise armchair graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) on insulating fused silica substrates. This is achieved by controlling light polarization on macroscopically aligned GNRs which greatly enhances the optical contrast of the submonolayer GNRs on the insulating substrates. We measure the linear absorption spectra of 7-armchair and 9-armchair GNRs in this study, and the experimental data agree qualitatively with ab inito calculation results. The polarization spectroscopy technique enables an unambiguous optical identification of GNRs and provides a rapid tool to characterize the transferred film over a large area.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
