Abstract:We consider the adsorbed benzene monolayer on graphene and show that the monolayer’s structure can be very complicated even for benzene, the simplest representative of the cyclic hydrocarbons. We base this on previous the first principal investigations, which found different energy states of the adsorbed benzene molecule. We find the existence of the six domains (star domains) for the stable molecular monolayer. The representatives of these domains (grains) at the graphene hexagonal layer are star vectors that… Show more
