DESCRIPTION
A team of researchers at Michigan State University have utilized lightwave-driven terahertz scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy to probe 7-atom-wide armchair graphene nanoribbons (7-AGNRs) at ultralow heights. They have uncovered highly localized wave functions in GNR edges that conventional scanning tunneling microscopes have not revealed.
