The invention discloses a controllable nanometer
graphene cutting method, and relates to
graphene. An
amorphous carbon nanorod deposits at the tip end of a
tungsten tip to be recrystallized through afocused
electron beam, or nanometer carbon onions or
graphite flakes are directly attached to the tip end of the
tungsten tip, and a nanometer knife is prepared; constant bias voltages are exerted onthe
tungsten tip and electrodes at the two ends of a golden wire, the nanometer knife is precisely moved according to the nanometer dimension step length, and the arbitrary precise
cutting is conducted on the edge of
graphene step by step. Through the
cutting technology, any wanted shapes and sizes can be obtained, and the
cut edges are smooth. By taking
electron diffraction pictures of graphene,all chiral directions can be obtained and the edges of corresponding chiral structures are
cut. Fewer
layers of graphene of any shapes and patterns can be
cut out instead of only obtaining angle-fixededge shapes like
metal particle
etching. Controllable cutting is conducted on the
crystal structure and
chirality of the cut edges, the cut edges are quite precise and smooth, and the roughness degree is 1-2 nm or lower.
