چکیده

The potential applications of new graphitic materials, including carbon nanotubes and carbonized spheres, is limited by both the cost of production and the difficulties of organizing them into final geometries. We have developed a simple, low temperature (ca. 500 C) novel technology based on our discovery that in certain lean burn combustion environments graphite will grow rapidly (>1 graphene layer/second) on metallic templates. Post-growth removal of the templates leaves two or three dimensional graphitic structures that mimic the shape of the original graphite. We have created a number of complex structures using this technology including nano graphite particles, macroscopic graphite mesh, and graphite foam. In this study the technique was extended to film formation on silicon. It is intended to be the first step toward the creation of graphitic circuits on the nanoscale.

Carbon three-dimensional architecture formed by intersectional collision of graphene patches

Graphite is the most stable form of carbon under room temperature and atmospheric pressure, and consists of two-dimensional honeycomb lattices with intralayer sp2 bonding and rather weak van der Waals like interlayer interaction. When we supply gaseous small carbonic molecules such as methane to a patch of graphene, the patch will grow into graphite. Now, let us imagine a slightly different sit...

Effect of graphitic inclusions on the optical gap of tetrahedral amorphous carbon films

High sp fraction tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) films can be prepared using the filtered cathodic vacuum arc ~FCVA!. A by-product of the deposition process are small micrometer sized graphitic particles which are also incorporated into the film. The particle coverage of FCVA films is typically ,5%, and thus the effect of these graphite inclusions have been largely ignored in earlier optica...

Ohmic Contact of Cu/Mo and Cu/Ti Thin Layers on Multi-Crystalline Silicon Substrates

Cu-Mo and Cu-Ti contact structures were fabricated on multi-crystalline silicon substrates to provide a low resistance ohmic contact. Deposition steps are done in an excellent vacuum chamber by means of electron beam evaporation and samples are then annealed for the realization of an efficient alloy layer. The effects of process parameters such as film thickness, annealing duration and temp...

Ultra-thin Graphitic Film: Synthesis and Physical Properties

A scalable technique of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth of ultra-thin graphitic film is proposed. Ultra-thin graphitic films grown by a one-step CVD process on catalytic copper substrate have higher crystallinity than pyrolytic carbon grown on a non-catalytic surface and appear to be more robust than a graphene monolayer. The obtained graphitic material, not thicker than 8 nm, survives d...

relatively flat, but low, barrier heights as shown in Figure 3F. The surface was now completely oxidized, and the exposed surface, after removal from the solution, appeared covered with a grayish film. This film has previously been associated with surface oxidation.26 The STM images presented above suggest that the formation of a graphitic oxide overlay occurs according to a nucleation and grow...
