Popis: Implantation and subsequent behaviour of heavy noble gases (Ar, Kr, Xe) in few-layer graphene sheets and in nanodiamonds is studied both using computational methods and experimentally using X-ray absorption spectroscopy. X-ray absorption spectroscopy provides substantial support for the Xe-vacancy (Xe-V) defect as a main site for Xe in nanodiamond. It is shown that noble gases in thin graphene stacks distort the layers, forming bulges. The energy of an ion placed in between flat graphene sheets is notably lower than in domains with high curvature. However, if the ion is trapped in the curved domain, considerable additional energy is required to displace it.
