From: Cascaded compression of size distribution of nanopores in monolayer graphene
a, The evolution of density, mean diameter and RSD based on the conditions of sample #825 and extra nine times higher nucleation rate. b,c, The corresponding final spatial (b) and diametric (c) distributions of a. d, The evolution of density, mean diameter and RSD based on the conditions of sample #825 and extra 90 cycles of compression. e,f, The corresponding final spatial (e) and diametric (f) distributions of d. Scale bars in b and e, 5 nm. With much higher density, the fusion is notable, but the diameter distribution is still very narrow. g, The evolution of density, mean diameter and RSD based on a nonlinear diametric transformation as shown in equations (29) and (30). h,i, The corresponding final spatial (h) and diametric (i) distributions of g. Red and black dots in b, e and h indicate the created nanopores and 5–7 defects (or single/double vacancies), respectively. Scale bars, 10 nm.
