Mapping the Electronic Cloud of Graphene

Caption

The red regions depict folds in graphene, whereas the green regions are relatively flat domains. The "hills and valleys" present in the electron cloud can act as speed bumps preventing the flow of charge through graphene. Ideally, for high-performance electronics, one would like a midwestern topography: completely flat, which would appear all green.
