Charge localization around disclinations in monolayer graphite
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using a continuum model, we obtain qualitative results that imply charge localization around negative curvature disclinations (i.e. rings with more than 6 Carbon atoms) in a graphite sheet. Conversely, it is found that positive curvature disclinations repel charge, independent of its sign.

Electron dynamics in MoS2-graphite heterostructures.
The electron dynamics in heterostructures formed by multilayer graphite and monolayer or bulk MoS2 were studied by femtosecond transient absorption measurements. Samples of monolayer MoS2-multilayer graphite and bulk MoS2-multilayer graphite were fabricated by exfoliation and dry transfer techniques. Ultrafast laser pulses were used to inject electron-hole pairs into monolayer or bulk MoS2. The...
متن کاملDirac Fermions in Graphite: the State of Art
Macroscopic concentration of massless charge carriers with linear conic spectrum Dirac Fermions (DF) was shown in 2004 to exist in Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG) and governs its electronic properties. These carriers can have the same nature as DF observed in graphite monolayer (Graphene) and let to view HOPG as superposition of 2D carbon layers, almost independent electronically. We ...
متن کاملTetravalent Colloids by Nematic Wetting
– In an elegant paper, D. Nelson suggested a method to produce tetravalent colloids based on a tetrahedral configuration created on the surface of a spherical particle. It emerges from a two-dimensional nematic liquid crystal placed on a sphere due to the presence of four 1/2 disclinations, i.e., topological defects in the orientational order [1]. In this paper we show that such a tetrahedral c...
متن کاملElectrical Detection of Dna Binding Proteins
The base pair stack of double helical DNA has proven to be an effective medium for charge transport. The π-stacked DNA base pairs can mediate charge transport (CT) chemistry over distances as long as 20 nm, and the reaction is exquisitely sensitive to DNA sequence-dependent conformation and dynamics. This sensitivity to perturbations in DNA structure and base pair stacking makes DNA-mediated ch...

The results of testing a new enzyme, anionic tobacco peroxidase (TOP), in various amperometric biosensors are summarized. The biochemical and electrochemical properties of the enzyme are briefly characterized. As compared to the commonly used cationic peroxidase from horseradish roots, TOP exhibits a wider optimum stability pH range, higher stability to inactivation with hydrogen peroxide, and ...
