Crystal Structure of Graphite, Graphene and Silicon

چکیده
We analyze graphene and some of the carbon allotropes for which graphene sheets form the basis. The real-space and reciprocal crystalline structures are analyzed. Theoretical X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns are obtained from this analysis and compared with experimental results. We show that staggered two-dimensional hexagonal lattices of graphite have XRD patterns that differ significantly from silicon standards.

متن کاملIn-situ synthesis and characterization of reduced graphene oxide –Ag nanocomposites
Reduced graphene oxide(rGO)–silver(Ag) nanocomposites have been prepared by using solution based facile one-pot synthesis process. The reaction process involves high-temperature liquid-phase exfoliation of graphite oxide and silver acetate in presence of N-N’dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent, resulting in simultaneous formation of rGO as well as Ag nanoparticles. Different nanocomposites have bee...
متن کاملEpitaxial graphene
Graphene multilayers are grown epitaxially on single crystal silicon carbide. This system is composed of several graphene layers of which the first layer is electron doped due to the built-in electric field and the other layers are essentially undoped. Unlike graphite the charge carriers show Dirac particle properties (i.e. an anomalous Berry’s phase, weak anti-localization and square root fiel...
متن کاملThe effect of the parent graphite on the structure of graphene oxide
The effect of the parent graphite on the structure of graphene oxide (GO) is investigated using high purity graphites with a uniform crystallite size. Our results provide direct evidence of how the size of the graphite crystal affects the oxidation process and the functionality and sheet size of the resulting GO. The important role of the crystal boundaries in the graphite with smaller crystall...
متن کاملBinding Graphene Sheets Together Using Silicon: Graphene/Silicon Superlattice
We propose a superlattice consisting of graphene and monolayer thick Si sheets and investigate it using a first-principles density functional theory. The Si layer is found to not only strengthen the interlayer binding between the graphene sheets compared to that in graphite, but also inject electrons into graphene, yet without altering the most unique property of graphene: the Dirac fermion-lik...
