Researchers at the University of Oxford and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK are the first to have observed a carbon dimer structure that “hangs off” the edge of monolayer graphene (a sheet of carbon just one atom thick). Finding this feature, called a Klein Edge Doublet (KLD), predicted to exist in theory, helps us better understand graphene edges, which have novel electronic properties compared to the bulk material lattice…….
