The role of the bridging atom in stabilizing odd numbered graphene vacancies.

Vacancy defects in graphene with an odd number of missing atoms, such as the trivacancy, have been imaged at atomic resolution using aberration corrected transmission electron microscopy. These defects are not just stabilized by simple bond reconstructions between under-coordinated carbon atoms, as...
