Doping free transfer of graphene using aqueous ammonia flow.

Doping-free transfer of graphene produced by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on copper foil, is still a technical challenge since unintentional doping of the transferred graphene layer yields an uncontrolled shift of Dirac point in graphene-based field-effect transistors (FETs). Typically, CVD graphene is released from the growth template by etching of the template, copper. During the etching process, ions adhere to the graphene layer resulting in unintentional doping.

Design guidelines for an electron diffractometer for structural chemistry and structural biology.

3D electron diffraction has reached a stage where the structures of chemical compounds can be solved productively. Instrumentation is lagging behind this development, and to date dedicated electron diffractometers for data collection based on the rotation method do not exist. Current studies use transmission electron microscopes as a workaround.

Rapid Structure Determination of Microcrystalline Molecular Compounds Using Electron Diffraction.

Chemists of all fields currently publish about 50 000 crystal structures per year, the vast majority of which are X-ray structures. We determined two molecular structures by employing electron rather than X-ray diffraction. For this purpose, an EIGER hybrid pixel detector was fitted to a transmission electron microscope, yielding an electron diffractometer.
