Abstract

The interactions of fully stripped Argon-40 heavy ion beams with 140 MeV/nucleon with a series of increasingly polygonal carbon onions are investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The experimentally observed graphene layer linking is compared with expected results from the displacement and dislocation migration models. The results suggest that dislocation-driven mechanisms may play a significant role in graphene layer linking induced by heavy ion interactions with carbon onions.
