Summary
Scientists at Uppsala University's Ångström Laboratory have created an atomic rainbow by scattering xenon ions from graphene, a single-layer carbon material. The experiment required an ultraclean graphene sample and a detector with extreme resolution. This marks the first observation of the atomic rainbow effect from graphene, which is an ideal system for studying this phenomenon due to its two-dimensional honeycomb lattice structure.

· 3 pulledGraphene is a two-dimensional material consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice.
This structure makes it an ideal system for investigating the atomic rainbow effect.
Decisive for the success of the experiments were the combination of an ultraclean graphene sample and a detector with extreme resolution.
We can observe a colourful rainbow in the sky when sun light scatters from water drops in the air. In a lab in the Ångström Laboratory’s basement, scientists have now created an atomic rainbow by scattering xenon ions from graphene. Decisive for the succe
