▎ 摘  要

Electron scattering at graphene edges is expected to make a crucial contribution to the electron transport in graphene nanodevices by producing quantum interferences. Atomic-scale scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) topographies of different edge structures of monolayer graphene show that the localization of the electronic density of states along the C-C bonds, a property unique to monolayer graphene, results in quantum interference patterns along the graphene carbon bond network, whose shapes depend only on the edge structure and not on the electron energy.
