Nanoplatform Based on Vertical Nanographene

It is well known that sp2 carbon can lead to various kinds of layered structures. Among these structures, graphene (monolayer and few layers) is an actual two-dimensional material with the large anisotropy between the in-plane and out-of-plane directions. Planar graphene films with respect to the substrate have been synthesized by thermal decomposition of carbon-terminated silicon carbide…

Compton Effect in Graphene and in the Graphene-LikeDielectric Medium

The Compton effectis the light-particle interaction where the wavelength of scattered photon is changed. The difference between The Compton effect and the E instein photo effect consists in the fact that during the photo effect,the energy of photon is transmitted to electrontotally.Compton used in his original experiment[1] the energy of the X-ray photon(∼20keV) which was…

Photoactive Graphene — From Functionalization to Applications

Graphene, a monolayer of graphite, has attracted intense interest in recent years because of its unique two-dimensional structure and excellent physical and chemical properties such as high electronic and thermal conductivity, great mechanical strength, and huge specific surface area.[1-4] However, due to its zero bandgap semiconductor characteristic and a highly transparent property in the visible…

Review of Graphene Technology and Its Applications for Electronic Devices

Graphene is a two-dimensional (2D) analogue of graphite (carbon, or C) material that has exceptional characteristics derived from the bonding characteristics of C bonding sheets. C has four valence electrons, with three of these electrons participating in σ-bonding with its closest neighbors, creating a honeycomb structure. [1] The fourth of these valence electrons occupies an…

Modeling and Control of a Smart Single-Layer Graphene Sheet

In recent years, nanostructural carbon materials have received considerable interest from the scientific community due to their superior properties. Among carbon-based nanomaterials, single-layered graphene sheet (SLGS) is defined as a flat monolayer of carbon atoms tightly packed into a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice, in which carbon atoms bond covalently with their neighbors [1,2]. Graphene sheets (GSs)…
