Abstract:

Graphene, a single sheet of sp2-bonded carbon, is an interesting materials from a basic science and applications point of view.  I will discuss some recent high-resolution microscopy experiments utilizing graphene.  A related sp2-bonded system is synthetic boron nitride, for which research is intensifying.  I will discuss some recent results for BN sheets and tubes.
