▎ 摘　　要

We investigate the structures, stability and electronic properties of graphene adsorbed on Y2O3(111) using first-principles calculations based on density functional theories. When the interface of Y2O3(111) is terminated by an Y-layer, graphene is chemisorbed on Y2O3, resulting in the strong modification of electronic band structures. When the Y2O3(111) surface is terminated with O atoms and extra O atoms, on the other hand, graphene is physisorbed on Y2O3(111). Therefore, an O-rich environment is preferable for the graphene and Y2O3 interface. (C) 2016 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
