Single 3d transition metal atoms on multi-layer graphene systems: electronic configurations, bonding mechanisms and role of the substrate
The electronic configurations of Fe, Co, Ni and Cu adatoms on graphene and graphite have been studied by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism and charge transfer multiplet theory. A delicate interplay between long-range interactions and local chemical bonding is found to influence the adatom equilibriu...
