“Despite the atoms' high kinetic energy and coupling to the electronic system of graphene, we observe diffraction patterns featuring coherent scattering of up to eight reciprocal lattice vector ...
Remarkably, after 100 hours of exposure, the graphene showed no damage, and a distinct circular diffraction pattern was recorded. This experiment marks the first successful demonstration of atomic ...
The interaction between the atoms and graphene was so subtle that it ... producing clear circular diffraction patterns. The key to this success lay in the energy dynamics. By precisely controlling ...
To do this, the team diffracted high-energy hydrogen and helium atoms through an atom-thick graphene sheet, and saw distinctive ring patterns—a tell-tale sign of diffraction. This was particularly ...
Using X-ray pulses to illuminate nanoparticles, researchers decode diffraction patterns to construct detailed three-dimensional images. (Illustration: ETH Zürich / Daniela Rupp) In a 2D-XRD experiment ...
