A graphene-charge carrier confinement induced by high-frequency photons and a subsequent clustering of artificial atoms in graphene plane have been studied using electrophysical and Raman-spectroscopy methods. To fabricate the graphene n-p-n junctions, commensurable superlattice structures consisting of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have been formed utilizing a Langmuir-Blodgett technique. It has been shown that the p-n graphene junctions are sensitive to graphene lattice-deformation defects only. The levels of graphene defect do not host impurity electrons. One offers a mechanism of graphene monolayer self-repairing after a radiation damage. This mechanism is based on an existence of topologically protected Compton scatterers in graphene plane.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
