The unique density of states and exceptionally low electrical noise allow graphene-based field effect devices to be utilized as extremely sensitive potentiometers for probing charge transfer with adsorbed species. On the other hand, molecular level alignment at interface electrodes can strongly influence performance organic-based devices. For this reason, interfacial band engineering is crucial potential applications graphene/organic semiconductor heterostructures. Here, we demonstrate...

The optical transitions of vanadium ${\mathrm{V}}^{4+}$(${3\mathrm{d}}^{1}$) on the hexagonal lattice site (h) 6H-silicon carbide are studied by Fourier-Zeeman spectroscopy.
