Abstract

Nitrogen-doped Kagome graphene (N-KG) has been theoretically predicted as a candidate for the emergence of a topological band gap as well as unconventional superconductivity. However, its physical realization still remains very elusive. Here, we report on a substrate-assisted reaction on Ag(111) for the synthesis of two-dimensional graphene sheets possessing a long-range honeycomb Kagome lattice. Low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) with a CO-terminated tip supported by density functional theory (DFT) are employed to scrutinize the structural and electronic properties of the N-KG down to the atomic scale. We demonstrate its semiconducting character due to the nitrogen doping as well as the emergence of Kagome flat bands near the Fermi level which would open new routes towards the design of graphene-based topological materials.
