Unravelling the room-temperature atomic structure and growth kinetics of lithium metal

Atomic structure of alkali metal is difficult to be revealed at room temperature because of the chemical reactivity and irradiation sensitivity. Here the authors show that electron beam-induced in situ growth of alkali metals enables the investigation of atomic structure and growth kinetics at high...
