Abstract
van der Waals (vdW) interaction plays a fundamental role in the surface-molecules related phenomena. Tuning of the correlated charge fluctuation in the vdW complex is a plausible way to modulate the molecules interaction at the atomic surface. We report vdW interaction tunability of the graphene-CO complex by combining the first principle calculations with the vdW exchange correlation density functionals and the time evaluation measurements of CO molecules adsorption/desorption on graphene under an external electric field. The field-dependent charge transfer within the complex unveils the controllable tuning of CO from acceptor to donor. Meanwhile the configuration of the adsorbed molecule - the equilibrium distance from graphene and O-C-O bonding angle - is modified accordingly. The range of electrical tunability is a unique feature for each type of molecules.
