Two-dimensional materials, such as graphene, are usually prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on selected substrates, and their transfer is completed with a supporting layer, mostly polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Indeed, the PMMA has to be removed precisely obtain predicted superior properties of graphene after process. We demonstrate new effective technique achieve polymer-free CVD — utilizing low-energy electron irradiation in scanning microscope (SLEEM). The influence...

New type of detection system has been designed and tested in the Scanning Electron Microscope. Backscattered electrons (BSE) at low energies electron impact are collected by an annular detector above specimen, consisting eight concentric ring-shaped collectors arranged around optical axis so that polar angles initial velocity vectors can be distinguished. Backscattering electrons, particular below 1 keV energy, provides rich information content even enhances toward higher with respect to...
