Picture of HOPG target before(left) and after 1.34×107μC beam dose bombardment(right).

Caption

The HOPG target composes with a number of graphene layers. After the beam bombardment, the graphene layers on the surface were damaged and formed flakiness and wrinkles structure. This radiation damage mod ifies the surface structure and may potentially influence the detection of low-energy charged particles, a phenomenon that has not yet been studied.
