Graphite rapidly forms via annihilation of screw dislocations

Graphite is the thermodynamically stable form of carbon and yet is remarkably difficult to synthesize. We show the annihilation of screw dislocations is critical for graphitization. These dislocations wind through the layers like a spiral staircase, inhibiting lateral growth of the graphenic crystal...
