Novel electronic wave interference patterns in nanographene sheets

Role of edges in the electronic and magnetic structures of nanographene

In graphene edges or nanographene, the presence of edges strongly affects the electronic structure depending on their edge shape (zigzag and armchair edges) as observed with the electron wave interference and the creation of non-bonding π -electron state (edge state). We investigate the edge-inherent electronic features and the magnetic properties of edge-sate spins in nanographene/graphene edg...

Cytotoxicity and variant cellular internalization behavior of water-soluble sulfonated nanographene sheets in liver cancer cells

Highly exfoliated sulfonated graphene sheets (SGSs), an alternative to graphene oxide and graphene derivatives, were synthesized, characterized, and applied to liver cancer cells in vitro. Cytotoxicity profiles were obtained using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide, WST-1[2-(4-iodophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-(2,4-disulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, and lactate dehydrogenase...

Magnetoacoustic wave propagation in current sheets

Magnetoacoustic waves in a Harris neutral current sheet are investigated. The magnetic field strength, Alfvén speed, sound speed and plasma density vary continuously across the structure. The sheet supports body, surface and hybrid modes. Two surface modes exist (a kink and a sausage). In addition, fundamental and harmonic body waves are found when their phase speeds approach the maximum Alfvén...

Thermodynamic study of lead ion removal by adsorption onto nanographene sheets

A batch adsorption study was applied to investigate the adsorption of Pb2+ ions from aqueous solutionby nanographene (nG).The adsorption percentage of Pb2+ions onto nG samples at different initial pH,contact time (tc), adsorbent dosage (mnG) and temperature (T) were investigated. The results showedthat nG is an excellent adsorbent for Pb2+ions removal from aqueous solutions with an adsorptionpe...
