Synchrotron Imaging Shows How Folds Affect Graphene
BUFFALO, N.Y., June 30, 2011 — Synchrotron light sources have revealed electron clouds on the surface of graphene, showing how folds and ripples in the material can harm its conductivity.
The research, scheduled to appear June 28 in Nature Communications, was conducted by University at Buffalo chemists along with investigators at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Molecular Foundry at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Sematech, a global consortium of semiconductor...
