Nanolithography of the nanocorral structure of chemisorbed oxygen atoms on the graphitic lattice

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Shaoxian Li

Controlled atomic patterning is an attractive tool to fine tune properties of graphitic lattice. Several O-functionalized derivatives of graphitic lattice have been widely studied, e.g., graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, and functionalized carbon nan ...
