Singular currents in graphene
Amongst the many extraordinary properties of graphene, its giant diamagnetic response at zero doping, predicted in the 1950s, had to this day not been measured directly. By controlling the doping …
Optical properties of semiconductor monolayers revealed by combined nanoscale electron spectroscopy techniques
The combined measurement of the absorption and emission of a material allows access to information such as doping, homogeneity etc. They are usually obtained with purely optical techniques, which limits …
