Direct matter disassembly via electron beam control: Electron-beam-mediated catalytic etching of graphene by nanoparticles

Ondrej Dyck, David Lingerfelt, Songkil Kim +2

We report electron-beam activated motion of a catalytic nanoparticle along a graphene step edge and associated etching of the edge. This approach enables beam-controlled etching of…

Mitigating E-beam-induced Hydrocarbon Deposition on Graphene for Atomic-Scale Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy Studies

Ondrej Dyck, Songkil Kim, Sergei V. Kalinin +1

CVD grown graphene used in (scanning) transmission electron microscopy ((S)TEM) studies must undergo a careful transfer of the one-atom-thick membrane from the growth surface (typi…

Single atom manipulation and control in a scanning transmission electron microscope

Ondrej Dyck, Songkil Kim, Sergei V. Kalinin +1

We demonstrate that the sub-atomically focused beam of a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) can be used to controllably manipulate individual dopant atoms in a 2D gra…
