Authors Chen T, Ghosh A, Enderlein J Journal Nano Letters Citation Nano Lett. 2023 Jan 27. Abstract Graphene-induced energy transfer (GIET) is a recently developed fluorescence-spectroscopic technique that achieves subnanometric optical localization of fluorophores along the optical axis of a microscope. GIET is based on the near-field energy transfer from
