  • Imaging electron clouds from sheets of carbon atoms

    Igor Mikhailovskij's team at the Kharkov Institute, Ukraine, have developed a method for imaging electron clouds from sheets of carbon atoms. Similar to imaging radio-isotopes on a phosphor screen, they have developed tools to image the electron cloud density of a sheet of graphite, - cabon atoms at 4.2K Read more »
