Structural and electronic properties of grain boundaries in graphite: Planes of periodically distributed point defects

Abstract: We report on scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy of grain boundaries in highly oriented pyrolytic graphite. Grain boundaries showed a periodic structure and an enhanced charge density compared to the bare graphite surface. Two possible periodic structures have been observed along grain boundaries. A geometrical model producing periodically distributed point defects on the basal plane of graphite has been proposed to explain the structure of grain boundaries. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy on grain … Show more

“…Later, the interest in GB defects in graphene was renewed with the advent of scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) for investigating surfaces [27][28][29][30] . Scanning tunnelling spectroscopy (STS) allowed the local electronic properties of these defects in graphite to be investigated in detail 31 . The scanning probe techniques have also been used recently to explore the possible role of GBs in the intrinsic ferromagnetism of graphite 32 .…”

“…The first approach involves local two-point measurements, which are accomplished with STM and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS). [16,200,201,202,24,23] With these measurements, it is possible to deduce the local electronic density of states, the local charge density, and the charge scattering mechanisms associated with GGBs, thus permitting the spatially-dependent electrical characterization of GGBs at the atomic scale. The second approach involves four-probe measurements, which can be used to analyze the influence of individual GGBs at a scale of several micrometers.…”
