The study of the nanomechanics of graphene $-$ and other 2D materials $-$ has led to the discovery of exciting new properties in 2D crystals, such as their remarkable in-plane stiffness and out of plane flexibility, as well as their unique…
Confocal Raman microscopy, a highly specific and label-free technique for the microscale study of thick samples, often presents difficulties due to weak Raman signals. Inhomogeneous samples introduce wavefront aberrations that further…
Nanoporous materials represent a versatile solution for a number of applications ranging from sensing, energy applications, catalysis, drug delivery, and many others. The synergy between the outstanding properties of graphene with a…
Graphene is an atomically thin metallic membrane capable of sustaining reversible strain and offers a tempting prospect of controlling its optoelectronic properties via strain. Graphenes exceptional mechanical flexibility and tensile…
In crystal growth, surfactants are additive molecules used in dilute amount or as dense, permeable layers to control surface morphologies. Here, we investigate the properties of a strikingly different surfactant: a two-dimensional and…
We demonstrate sub-wavelength sectioning on biological samples with a conventional confocal microscope. This optical sectioning is achieved by the phenomenon of supercritical angle fuorescence, wherein only a fluorophore next to the…

Graphene based sheets have stimulated great interest due to their superior mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. A general visualization method that allows quick observation of these single atomic layers would be highly desirable…
The lensless endoscope (LE) is a promising device to acquire in vivo images at a cellular scale. The tiny size of the probe enables a deep exploration of the tissues. Lensless endoscopy with a multicore fiber (MCF) commonly uses a spatial…
Graphene is a rapidly rising star on the horizon of materials science and condensed matter physics. This strictly two-dimensional material exhibits exceptionally high crystal and electronic quality and, despite its short history, has…
Cross-grating phase microscopy (CGM) is a quantitative phase microscopy technique based on the association of a 2-dimensional diffraction grating (cross-grating) and a regular camera sensor, separated by a millimetric distance. This simple…
We study the optical contrast for single and multilayer graphene deposited on a Au/SiO2/Si substrate. Our results prove that optical microscopy allows for easy and quick localization, identification and counting of graphene layers.…
Subsurface Charge Accumulation imaging is a cryogenic scanning probe technique that has recently been used to spatially probe incompressible strips formed in a two-dimensional electron system (2DES) at high magnetic fields. In this paper,…
The intercalation of metals beneath graphene offers a powerful route to stabilizing and protecting novel two-dimensional (2D) phases. The epitaxial growth of Pb monolayers on SiC(0001), combined with the relatively large spacing of the…
In this work we demonstrate the synthesis of millimetre-sized single-crystals of graphene, achievable in a commercially-available cold-wall CVD reactor, and several different approaches to transfer it from the growth substrate to a target…
A method is proposed to extract pure Raman spectrum of epitaxial graphene on SiC by using a Non-negative Matrix Factorization. It overcomes problems of negative spectral intensity and poorly resolved spectra resulting from a simple…
Low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM) taken as intensity-voltage (I-V) curves provides hyperspectral images of surfaces, which can be used to identify the surface type, but are difficult to analyze. Here, we demonstrate the use of an…
Adsorbed atoms and molecules play an important role in controlling and tuning the functional properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials. Understanding and predicting this process from theory is challenging because of the need to capture…
