Highly ordered ultralong magnetic nanowires wrapped in stacked graphene layers
We report on the synthesis and magnetic characterization of ultralong (1 cm) arrays of highly ordered coaxial nanowires with nickel cores and graphene stacking shells (also known as metal-filled carbon nanotubes). Carbon-containing nickel nanowires are first grown on a nanograted surface by magnetron sputtering. Then, a post-annealing treatment favors the metal-catalyzed crystallization of carb...
متن کاملCrystallization of diamond-like carbon to graphene under low energy ion beam modification
Low-energy ion beam modification was proposed to create graphene on the top of the insulated diamond-like carbon films. In such low-temperature fabrication process the surface of the amorphous carbon could crystallize to graphene as a result of point defect creation and enhanced diffusion caused by the ion bombardment. In the experiment 130 eV argon ion irradiation was used. After the modificat...
متن کاملHeat-induced Transformations of Adsorbed Hydrocarbon Residues on Graphene
We describe new phenomena of structural reorganization of carbon adsorbates as revealed by in situ atomic-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) performed on specimens at extreme temperatures. In our investigations, a graphene sheet serves as both a quasi-transparent substrate for TEM and as an in situ heater. The melting of gold nanoislands deposited on the substrate surface is used...
متن کاملGrowth Mechanism for Low Temperature PVD Graphene Synthesis on Copper Using Amorphous Carbon
Growth mechanism for synthesizing PVD based Graphene using Amorphous Carbon, catalyzed by Copper is investigated in this work. Different experiments with respect to Amorphous Carbon film thickness, annealing time and temperature are performed for the investigation. Copper film stress and its effect on hydrogen diffusion through the film grain boundaries are found to be the key factors for the g...
متن کاملGraphene: Substrate preparation and introduction.
This technical note describes the transfer of continuous, single-layer, pristine graphene to standard Quantifoil TEM grids. We compare the transmission properties of pristine graphene substrates to those of graphene oxide and thin amorphous carbon substrates. Positively stained DNA imaged across amorphous carbon is typically indiscernible and requires metal shadowing for sufficient contrast. Ho...
