Step edge-mediated assembly of periodic arrays of long graphene nanoribbons on Au(111)
Abstract
Step edges on Au(111) surface are found to promote the assembly of compact polymer arrays with enhanced interchain π–π interactions, which in turn lead to periodic arrays of graphene nanoribbons with enhanced average length near step edges.
