Vibrational spectroscopy

Distinguishing atomic vibrations near point defects

Nature Materials volume 22, pages 540–541 (2023)Cite this article

Subjects

Local vibrational modes at substitutional impurities in monolayer graphene are resolved with a sensitivity at the chemical bonding level, revealing the impacts of different chemical configurations and mass of impurity atoms on the defect-perturbed vibrational properties.
