  • Analysis of the influence of graphene-substrate interactions on self-assembly.
  • Comparison of self-assembly behavior on epitaxial graphene (varying substrate interactions) and non-epitaxial graphene.

    • Main Results:

    • Epitaxial graphene's self-assembly is influenced by its interaction with the underlying substrate; strong interactions create an inhomogeneous landscape guiding molecular organization.
    • Weakly interacting epitaxial graphene and non-epitaxial graphene show self-assembly similar to graphite surfaces.
    • Graphene effectively promotes planar adsorption of aromatic molecules, enabling directed molecular orientation and carrier transport.

    Conclusions:

    • Graphene is a versatile substrate for controlling molecular self-assembly in two dimensions.
    • The choice of graphene type and its substrate interaction critically determines the self-assembly outcome.
    • Transferred graphene offers predictable molecular self-assembly on diverse surfaces, paving the way for tailored electronic devices.
