Primary radiation damage: A review of current understanding and models (2018, background): “Somewhat surprisingly, one of the materials where the threshold displacement energy is known quite accurately is in carbon nanotubes and graphene [63,79,80].”
Design and Operation of a MEMS-Based Material Testing System for Nanomechanical Characterization (2007, neutral): “In fact, it has been reported that, above a certain energy threshold, electron and ion beams can produce vacancies in the nanotube shells and corresponding interstitials in the intershell spacing [32].”
Structural defects in graphene. (2011, methodology): “18 22 eV, 33,34 whereas experiments have yielded 18 20 eV.(35,36) Displacement thresholds of 18 20 eV need electron energies of roughly 90 100 keV as estimated within the McKinley Feshbach approximation.”
Epitaxial Graphene on SiC: A Review of Growth and Characterization (2016, background): “TEM on graphene should be done with electron energy less than 80 keV to induce a smaller amount of defects, because this energy is the threshold electron energy for damaging a single-wall carbon nano-tube [61].”
Growth of Epitaxial Graphene: Theory and Experiment (2014, background): “For carbon the knockon occurs for electrons with about 80 keV energy [82].”
