Monolayer graphene exhibits extraordinary properties owing to the unique, regular
arrangement of atoms in it. However, graphene is usually modified for specific applications …

A few decades ago, the irradiation process was considered to be just a lethal technique that
damaged the structure of solid materials, but in the last few years, new discoveries have also …

The focused ion beam (FIB) is a powerful tool for fabrication, modification, and
characterization of materials down to the nanoscale. Starting with the gallium FIB, which was …

Graphene has attracted immense investigation since its discovery. Lattice imperfections are
introduced into graphene unavoidably during graphene growth or processing. These …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), like MoS2, have
unique electronic and optical properties, which can further be tuned using ion bombardment …

The way conduction electrons respond to ultrafast external perturbations in low dimensional
materials is at the core of the design of future devices for (opto) electronics, photodetection …

Atomically thin 2D materials provide an opportunity to investigate the atomic-scale details of
defects introduced by particle irradiation. Once the atomic configuration of defects and their …

Materials can, in principle, be imaged at the level of individual atoms with aberration-
corrected transmission electron microscopy. However, such resolution can be attained only …

The successful preparation of graphene in research laboratory has brought a revolutionary
progress in almost all the research fields including physical, chemical and biological …

Defective 3D vertical graphene (VG) with a relatively large surface area, high defect density,
and increased surface electrons is synthesized via a scalable plasma enhanced chemical …
