TipsNano supply with Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite (
HOPG). It's a type of pure, highly laminar graphite
used as an atomic-scale calibration standard for atomic force microscopy and
scanning tunneling microscopy.
Such HOPG properties as atomic plane surface and
good conductivity make it the best material for STM calibration and the
excellent substrate for different samples. HOPG is a material that consists of
many atomic layers of carbon highly oriented among each other. HOPG is
manufactured at the temperature of 3273K and remains stable at the temperatures
up to 2000°C in the inert environment. The parallelism of atomic layers is
characterized by "mosaic spread angle". The less this angle the
higher the quality of HOPG is.
