Graphene Nanoribbons Fabricated by Molecular Assembly on a Cu(111) Substrate

Caption

Graphene nanoribbons are fabricated by molecular assembly on a Cu(111) substrate. On this surface system, GNRs on grow in six azimuthal directions exclusively. White lines in the inset highlight the zigzag edges of a ribbon.
