Researchers have discovered and confirmed a method which could serve as an easy but reliable way to test the quality of graphene and other 2D materials. It takes advantage of the very broad background in surface electron diffraction, named the Bell-Shaped-Component, which strongly correlates to uniformly patterned, or 'perfect' graphene.
