Atomic Structure of Amorphous 2D Carbon Structures As Revealed by Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy

The atomic structure of disordered materials is one of the remaining challenges in materials science due to the difficulties related to imaging non-repeating arrangements of atomic positions.In fact, since over 80 years, the popular concept of the atomic structure of amorphous materials has been for a large part based on the drawings of a random network by Zachariasen [1].
