Abstract

In transmission electron energy loss (EEL) spectroscopy, the cross section in two dimensions (2D) is quenched by kinematic effects once the momentum transfer becomes smaller than a critical value set by qz, the momentum loss parallel to the beam. Our highly momentum (Δq=0.02Å-1) and energy (ΔE=45 meV) resolved setup is instrumental in delivering the experimental verification of quenched 2D EEL spectra on freestanding graphene at momentum transfers q below 0.06Å-1. We retrieve the intrinsic uniform dielectric response of graphene from measured spectra by quantifying the kinematic suppression.
