Raman spectroscopy is an integral part of graphene research. It is used to determine the
number and orientation of layers, the quality and types of edge, and the effects of …

Recent years have seen a rapid growth of interest by the scientific and engineering
communities in the thermal properties of materials. Heat removal has become a crucial issue …

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is a graphene-like material that exhibits high productivity for
a wide range of industrial applications. To promote the application of rGO, it is important to …

We study the transformation from molecular to crystalline of (non-) graphitic carbons
synthesized from organic precursors by heat-treatment. Easy assessment of structural …

The no-hair conjecture in general relativity (GR) states that the properties of an astrophysical
Kerr black hole (BH) are completely described by its mass and spin. As a consequence, the …

Conducting, boron doped diamond (BDD), in addition to its superior material properties,
offers several notable attributes to the electrochemist making it an intriguing material for …

We present a Raman study of Ar+-bombarded graphene samples with increasing ion doses.
This allows us to have a controlled, increasing, amount of defects. We find that the ratio …

The complex heterogeneous nature of chars has confounded the complete analysis of the
Raman spectra of these materials. The additional shoulders observed on the defect (D) …

Graphene sheets that are now routinely obtained by the exfoliation/reduction of graphite
oxide exhibit Raman spectra unlike traditional graphene systems. The general attributes of …

Perturbations of black holes, initially considered in the context of possible observations of
astrophysical effects, have been studied for the past 10 years in string theory, brane-world …
