Ion irradiation tolerance of graphene as studied by atomistic simulations
Ion irradiation tolerance of graphene as studied by atomistic simulations
As impermeable to gas molecules and at the same time transparent to high-energy ions, graphene has been suggested as a window material for separating a high-vacuum ion beam system from targets kept at ambient conditions. However, accumulation of irradiation-induced damage in the graphene membrane may give rise to its mechanical …
