Change of the graphite crystallinity by chemo-mechanical polishing using colloidal silica. Chemo-mechanical polishing was operated using VibroMet™ 2 Vibratory Polisher. The photographs on the left show the reflection microscopic images of the graphite before and 30 h after the chemo-mechanical polishing. The graph on the right shows the changes of graphite crystallinity (=R2) with time. The data in the flat part are indicated by solid lines, and the data of grooved band are indicated by dotted lines
