(abstract)

We investigated the dynamic evolution of defects in metal-doped graphene and electron-irradiated (non-doped) graphene using in situ transmission electron microscopy (operating at 80 kV below the theoretical knock-on threshold) combined with persistent homology (PH)-based analysis. PH is quantitative and multiscale analytical framework, describing the quantity and scale of k-dimensional holes. Here, we applied PH to in situ TEM images in order to quantitatively study the effects of metal doping on defect cluster dynamics. In situ observation demonstrated that Cr doping induces significantly faster structural dynamics compared to Cu doping at the same electron dose rate. Our developed PH-based analysis has been extended for application to both undoped and metal-doped graphene, enabling semi-automated visualization of the spatial arrangement of N-polygons and quantitative evaluation of the connectivity of non-hexagonal rings. The connectivity metric revealed that Cr-doped graphene exhibits larger structural fluctuations than electron-irradiated graphene, even at similar defect ratios. This finding quantitatively indicates that the global defect structure can be tuned by combining Cr-doping with electron irradiation.
