Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG)

HOPG is widely used as a substrate for specimens to be examined in scanning probe microscopes (SPM, STM and AFM). It may also be used as a calibration specimen. HOPG consists of layered planes of carbon atoms (002) which are highly oriented with respect to each other.

• Single-sided HOPG grade ZYB with a mosaic spread of 0.8° ± 0.2° with a grain size of up to 1µm
