Evolving properties of two-dimensional materials: from graphene to graphite.

چکیده
We have studied theoretically, using density functional theory, several material properties when going from one C layer in graphene to two and three graphene layers and on to graphite. The properties we have focused on are the elastic constants, electronic structure (energy bands and density of states), and the dielectric properties. For any of the properties we have investigated the modification due to an increase in the number of graphene layers is within a few per cent. Our results are in agreement with the analysis presented recently by Kopelevich and Esquinazi (unpublished).

The effect of graphite sources on preparation of Photoluminescent graphene nano-sheets for biomedical imaging
Objective(s): Graphene as two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted wide attention in different fields such as biomedical imaging. Ultra-small graphene nano-sheets (UGNSs) have been designated as low dimensional graphene sheets with lateral dimensions less than few nanometres (≤ 500 nm) in one, two or few layers. Several studies have proven that the process of acidic exfoliation and oxidati...

Properties of phonons-quanta of the crystal lattice vibrations-in graphene have recently attracted significant attention from the physics and engineering communities. Acoustic phonons are the main heat carriers in graphene near room temperature, while optical phonons are used for counting the number of atomic planes in Raman experiments with few-layer graphene. It was shown both theoretically a...
