Abstract

Read online

Presence of nano-bubbles within an atomically thin material generates potentially large pseudo-magnetic fields. Here, the authors report an innovative technique to induce nano-bubbles in graphene with desirable features and high precision through energized AFM tips, and experimentally measure three-fold symmetric pseudo-magnetic fields up to 120 T.
