We demonstrate the ability to create electron beams with high-contrast, nanometer-scale density modulations as a first step toward developing full control of the phase fronts of an x-ray free-electron laser. The nanopatterned electron beams…
Quantum confinement of graphene carriers is an effective way to engineer its properties. It is commonly realized through physical edges that are associated with the deterioration of mobility and strong suppression of plasmon resonances.…

We present a fabrication process for graphene-based devices where a graphene monolayer is suspended above a local metallic gate placed in a trench. As an example we detail the fabrication steps of a graphene field-effect transistor. The…
Realization of post-CMOS graphene electronics requires production of semiconducting graphene, which has been a labor-intensive process. We present tailoring of silicon carbide crystals via conventional photolithography and microelectronics…
Two-dimensional materials (2DM) and their derived heterostructures have electrical and optical properties that are widely tunable via several approaches, most notably electrostatic gating and interfacial engineering such as twisting. While…
Surface contamination not only influences but in some cases even dominates the measured properties of two-dimensional materials. Although different cleaning methods are often used for contamination removal, commonly used spectroscopic…
