Abstract:
1. A method for detecting a defect in a sample, wherein the sample includes graphene, the method comprising: receiving a sample, wherein the sample includes at least some graphene and at least some defects in the graphene; exposing the sample to a gas under sufficient reaction conditions to produce a marked sample, wherein the gas includes molecules and the molecules include at least one atom of Selenium (Se), Tellurium (Te), Tin (Sn), Bromine (Br), Hafnium (Hf), or Iodine (I), and the marked sample includes marks bonded to at least some of the defects in the graphene; at least partially removing the gas from the marked sample; placing the marked sample in a detector system; and detecting the defect by detecting at least some of the marks bonded to defects in the marked sample with the detector system.
