A recent article in Scientific Reports detailed the characterization of disordered structures in graphene and monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) induced by low-energy argon ion irradiation ...

With reference to the perfect fcc lattice structure, ... The irradiation-induced damage profile in terms of d.p.a. was calculated using the SRIM code 34 with the Kinchon–Pease damage ...

As the focus on energy resiliency and competitiveness increases, the development of advanced materials for next-generation, commercial fusion reactors is gaining attention. A recent paper ...

Posted: May 10, 2013: Unusual behavior of graphene under irradiation: More damage - less noise (Nanowerk Spotlight) The low-frequency 1/f noise – fluctuation process with the spectral density S∼1/f γ ...

Irradiation can damage structural materials made of well-ordered atoms packed in a lattice -- even obliterating its crystallinity. Existing knowledge of radiation effects on structural materials ...

We found that irradiation reduced CD140a‐ and CD105‐positive cells in skeletal tissues and mouse‐derived SSCs. Additionally, irradiation suppressed cell proliferation, colony formation, and ...

Single photons have applications in quantum computation, information networks, and sensors, and these can be emitted by defects in the atomically thin insulator hexagonal boron nitride (hBN).

Most studies on the electron dynamics of molybdenum disulfide examined levels below the damage threshold. Scientists in China recently investigated the electron dynamics of MoS2 under intense ...

However, using an atom-thick layer of carbon atoms known as graphene, experts found that even after 100 hours under irradiation of an atom beam, the grating showed no damage and diffraction still ...

Unfortunately, all material characterization techniques which involve electron beam irradiation of the samples may result in damage to the material and disordering of the crystalline lattice. So far, ...
