Nano-structured carbonCarbon nanotubeActivated carbon fiberRecent progress in fine processing technology enables us to fabricate graphene devices. In this article, we show how the graphene edges and their shape crucially affect the physical properties of nano-graphene and related systems. The crossover ...
Carbon nanotubes (often abbreviated to CNTs) are cylindrically-shaped molecules made of carbon atoms. A sheet of graphene can be rolled-up to make a carbon nanotube. CNTs can be single-walled (SWCNT) if made from one layer of carbon atoms, or multi-walled (MWCNT) when consisting of several...
In recent years, graphene has attracted considerable research interest in all fields of science due to its unique properties. Its excellent mechanical properties lead it to be used in nano-composites for strength enhancement. This paper reports an Aluminum–Graphene Nanoplatelets (Al/GNPs) composite ...
Numerous ab initio calculations of finite-sized graphene have shown various peculiar electronic properties owing to defects inherent in it2,3. However, these calculations mostly concentrated on the initial state of the materials without considering the effects of the measurement process itself. Nano-...

The effect of Mn intercalation on the atomic, electronic and magnetic structure of the graphene/Cu(111) interface is studied using state-of-the-art density functional theory calculations. Different structural models of the graphene–Mn–Cu(111) interface
Nanotube and graphene transducers are disclosed. A transducer according to the present invention can include a substrate, a plurality of semiconductive structures, one or more metal
there are only a handful of methods that are effective in making seamless cylinders, and they are characterized by the chiral vectors with integer indices (n, m). To establish the chiral vector, two atoms in the graphene sheet are selected, with one serving as the origin of the vector poin...

In these methods, inserting proper quantity of CNTs as nano-spacers can effectively impede the stacking of graphene sheets through enlarging the space between graphene sheets, leading to a highly uniform nanostructure. However, these methods cannot provide the covalent C–C bond between graphene and...
