Mechanical cleaning of graphene using in situ electron microscopy

Contamination of 2D materials adversely impacts device performance and calls for cleaning methods down to the atomic scale and over large areas. Here, the authors present a site-specific mechanical cleaning approach capable of cleaning both sides of suspended 2D membranes and achieving atomically cl...
