Comparison of ultrafine-grain isotropic graphite prepared from microcrystalline graphite and pitch coke

2007: Graphite Electrode and Needle Coke Development

The booming Asian economies are driving the recent increase in steel production. Although BOF steel production growth is much stronger than EAF, the outlook for EAF is promising due to increasing substitution of steel scrap by DRI and pig iron, as well as an increase in electrical energy supply in China. The favorable operational reliability of AC-furnaces is the reason that most new furnace pr...

Growth of contiguous graphite fins from thermally conductive graphite fibers

Contiguous graphite fins can be grown with Microwave Plasma CVD from the surface of different types of thermally conductive (TC), graphite fibers. The fins grow from all fiber filaments in multiple same TC graphite fiber tow bundles. Fin morphology consists of contiguous branching graphene basal planes originating from the fiber’s surface and curling outwards regardless of the fiber’s isotropic...

Terahertz generation from graphite.

Generation of subpicosecond terahertz pulses is observed when graphite surfaces are illuminated with femtosecond near-infrared laser pulses. The nonlinear optical generation of THz pulses from graphite is unexpected since, in principle, the material possesses a centre of inversion symmetry. Experiments with highly oriented pyrolytic graphite crystals suggest that the THz radiation is generated ...

Scattering of Xe from graphite.

Recently a series of experimental measurements for the scattering of Xe atoms from graphite has been reported for both energy-resolved spectra and angular distributions. This system is of fundamental interest because the projectile Xe atoms are considerably more massive than the carbon atoms making up the graphite surface. These measurements were initially analyzed using the hard cubes model an...
