 a STM image of the 120° GBs (Vs  =  –20 mV, I = 0.7 nA). b dI/dV spectra obtained at the non-symmorphic C2– (NonSymC2) GB (orange), symmorphic C2–(SymC2) GB (cyan), and right area (black). c Schematic illustration of the GB geometry used in the numerical calculation. d, f Schematic illustration of the GB and non-symmmorphic and symmorphic symmetric tunneling, respectively. e, g LDOS calculated near the non-symmorphic GB and near the symmorphic GB, respectively.
