Graphene, since the demonstration of its easy isolation by the exfoliation of graphite in 2004
by Novoselov, Geim and co-workers, has been attracting enormous attention in the scientific …

Graphene-like materials could be used in the fabrication of electronic and optoelectronic
devices, gas sensors, biosensors, and batteries for energy storage. Since it is almost …

The use of Raman spectroscopy for carbon nanotube applications is presented here as a
tutorial review. After introducing the relevant basic aspects of Raman spectroscopy of …

An optical blackbody is an ideal absorber for all incident optical radiation, and the theoretical
study of its radiation spectra paved the way for quantum mechanics (Planck's law). Herein …

Large-area graphene growth is required for the development and production of electronic
devices. Recently, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of hydrocarbons has shown some …

We present atomic-scale, video-rate environmental transmission electron microscopy and in
situ time-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of surface-bound catalytic chemical …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been extensively investigated in the last decade because
their superior properties could benefit many applications. However, CNTs have not yet made …

We present the temperature dependence of the growth rate of carbon nanofibers by plasma-
enhanced chemical vapor deposition with Ni, Co, and Fe catalysts. We extrapolate a …

Graphene has attracted a great deal of attention because of its unique band structure and
electronic properties that make it promising for applications in next-generation electronic …

Strongly coupled bilayer graphene (ie, AB stacked) grows particularly well on commercial
“90–10” Cu–Ni alloy foil. However, the mechanism of growth of bilayer graphene on Cu–Ni …
