Unraveling the Mysteries of Atomic Defects in 2D Materials
In a new study published in Nature Materials, researchers have demonstrated a novel method of characterizing atomic defects in two-dimensional (2D) materials. Using a combination of scanning tunneling and atomic force microscopy, the team was able to “zoom in” to the atomic level and identify specific types of defects, such as vacancies and adatoms, in 2D materials. The research opens up new possibilities for understanding and manipulating the properties of 2D materials, paving the way for new and improved technologies.
