A simple and effective stepwise-method has been developed to remove defects from the top graphene layers of highly orientated pyrolytic graphite. Using a combination of ozone exposure and moderately high temperature we have shown that a defect-rich graphite surface can be modified to generate a graphene-like surface containing a negligible amount of oxygen, hydrogen and sp3 carbon. We report definitive x-ray photoelectron and x-ray absorption spectroscopy analysis after each stage of the process, suggest a mechanism by which the modification occurs and propose it as a route towards the preparation or manipulation of pristine graphene samples.
High resolution magnetoresistance data in highly oriented pyrolytic graphite thin samples manifest non-homogenous superconductivity with critical temperature $T_c sim 25 $K. These data exhibit: i) hysteretic loops of resistance versus magnetic field
We report on the magnetic field (0T$ le B le 9$T) dependence of the longitudinal thermal conductivity $kappa(T,B)$ of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite in the temperature range 5 K $le Tle$ 20 K for fields parallel to the $c-$axis. We show that $kap
Graphite surfaces interact weakly with molecules compared to other conducting surfaces bringing the molecule-molecule interaction to the foreground. C$_{60}$ on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite is a model system for studying the molecular self-asse
Based upon the observations (i) that their in-plane lattice constants match almost perfectly and (ii) that their electronic structures overlap in reciprocal space for one spin direction only, we predict perfect spin filtering for interfaces between g
Growth of perovskite oxide thin films on Si in crystalline form has long been a critical obstacle for the integration of multifunctional oxides into Si-based technologies. In this study, we propose pulsed laser deposition of a crystalline SrTiO3 thin
