I would like to know if is possible to create Graphene decorated with Sn, Ge and Pb atoms for transport or STM measures? I have been looking at the literature and I haven't found much of it? Is it possible or there are huge technical challenges?
Depends on what kind of graphene you are working with. If its solution processable then the metal atoms will most likely make the graphene aggregate. If its prestine graphene on a supported surface ALD will be the prefered deposition technique i gues.
I think functionalised graphene can be decorated with the the elemnts of your interest. So i suggest you to work with some funtionalized graphene.
you can try it with graphene nanopowder, and during top down approach add the docrative material salt, their are possibilities it intercelated inside the graphene traps. or attach some decorative adsorbant ligands with your graphene.
hope it may help, good luck
