The unit cell of graphene contains two carbon atoms
Is it true that the unit cell of graphene contains two carbon atoms?
The unit cell of graphene contains two carbon atoms, which corresponds to its two-sublattice honeycomb crystal structure. This is a foundational crystallographic fact requiring no specific citation.
Verdict: COMMON KNOWLEDGE · 0 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The claim states a fundamental, textbook fact about the crystal structure of graphene (a honeycomb lattice with a two-atom basis, namely sublattice A and sublattice B). This is common knowledge in solid-state physics and materials science. None of the retrieved papers specifically test or dispute this definition, making citation unnecessary according to the instructions.
