摘要:

我们提出了一个原子分辨率的观察和分析的石墨烯收缩和带与亚纳米宽度。石墨烯膜研究成像侧球面像差校正的透射电子显微镜在80千伏。由于辐射损伤,在蜂窝状结构中形成孔。随着空穴的增长,两个空穴相互靠近,位于它们之间的六边形结构就会变窄。当石墨烯带的宽度缩小到1纳米以下时,就会发生从六边形结构的转变和偏离。一些重建,涉及更多的五边形和七边形比六边形,原来是惊人的稳定。最后,观察到石墨烯接触之间的单碳原子链桥。动态以原子分辨率实时观察,具有足够的灵敏度来检测在足够长的时间内保持稳定的每个碳原子。碳链出现可重复的,并在各种配置从石墨烯桥,吸附物之间,或在开放的边缘,似乎代表一个最稳定的配置,一个少原子的碳系统容纳在存在连续的能量输入从电子束。

英文摘要:

We present an atomic-resolution observation and analysis of graphene constrictions and ribbons with sub-nanometer width. Graphene membranes are studied by imaging side spherical aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy at 80 kV. Holes are formed in the honeycomb-like structure due to radiation damage. As the holes grow and two holes approach each other, the hexagonal structure that lies between them narrows down. Transitions and deviations from the hexagonal structure in this graphene ribbon occur as its width shrinks below one nanometer. Some reconstructions, involving more pentagons and heptagons than hexagons, turn out to be surprisingly stable. Finally, single carbon atom chain bridges between graphene contacts are observed. The dynamics are observed in real time at atomic resolution with enough sensitivity to detect every carbon atom that remains stable for a sufficient amount of time. The carbon chains appear reproducibly and in various configurations from graphene bridges, between adsorbates, or at open edges and seem to represent one of the most stable configurations that a few-atomic carbon system accomodates in the presence of continuous energy input from the electron beam.
