Formation, Lattice Alignment, and Coalescence of the Moiré Pattern of h-BN-Like Zinc Oxide on Ag(111)
The properties of thin films largely differ from those of bulk material. Moreover, deviations from their idealized structure might influence their properties, both structurally and electronically. We characterize the formation of ultrathin zinc oxide (ZnO) layers on Ag(111) using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ult...
