How to prepare and identify perfect rhombohedral graphite

Our research group has successfully applied electronic Raman scattering to identify perfectly stacked rhombohedral graphite. This task presents a notable challenge due to the potential for defects in the stacking order during the exfoliation of few layer graphite from bulk natural or synthetic crystals. Previously, distinguishing between defective and perfect stacking orders, particularly in samples […]
