Individual graphene oxide sheets subjected to chemical reduction were electrically characterized as a function of temperature and external electric fields. The fully reduced monolayers exhibited conductivities ranging between 0.05 and 2 S/cm and field effect mobilities of 2-200 cm2/Vs at room temperature. Temperature-dependent electrical measurements and Raman spectroscopic investigations sugge...

Vertical graphene (VG) sheets were single-step synthesized via inductively coupled plasma (ICP)-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) using waste lard oil as a sustainable and economical carbon source. Interweaved few-layer VG sheets, H₂, and other hydrocarbon gases were obtained after the decomposition of waste lard oil. The influence of parameters such as temperature, gas proportion, ICP...

Beginning with the free energy potential for long-range interactions between parallel flat sheets and the mechanical energy of bending those sheets, we have derived an upper bound for repulsion enhanced by thermal undulations of sheets in a multilamellar array. Through a self-consistent (mean-field) potential, we cover the full range of layer separations from close-in to far-apart, where the en...

The structure of synthetic disodium magnesium disulfate decahydrate at 180 K consists of alternating layers of water-coordinated [Mg(H(2)O)(6)](2+) octahedra and [Na(2)(SO(4))(2)(H(2)O)(4)](2-) sheets, parallel to [100]. The [Mg(H(2)O)(6)](2+) octahedra are joined to one another by a single hydrogen bond, the other hydrogen bonds being involved in inter-layer linkage. The Mg(2+) cation occupies...

This paper presents methods and applications of sheet insertion in a hexahedral mesh. A hexahedral sheet is dual to a layer of hexahedra in a hexahedral mesh. Because of symmetries within a hexahedral element, every hexahedral mesh can be viewed as a collection of these sheets. It is possible to insert new sheets into an existing mesh, and these new sheets can be used to define new mesh boundar...

Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is an insulating compound that is structurally similar to graphite. Like graphene, single sheets of BN are atomically flat, and they are of current interest in few-layer hybrid devices, such as transistors and capacitors, that contain insulating components. While graphite and other layered compounds can be intercalated by redox reactions and then converted chemica...

this paper presents the thermal vibration analysis of double-layer graphene sheet embedded in polymer elastic medium, using the plate theory and nonlocal continuum mechanics for small scale effects. the graphene is modeled based on continuum plate theory and the axial stress caused by the thermal effects is also considered. nonlocal governing equations of motion for this double-layer graphene s...

A dynamic wicking technique is employed for the first time for the determination of the effective mean pore radius of a thin-layer porous food: drum dried pregelatinized starch sheets. The technique consists of measuring the penetration rate of various n-alkanes in the porous matrix of the starch sheets and using this data to calculate the effective pore radius via the Washburn equation. Pore s...

The crystal structure of the title compound, Ce[B(4)O(6)(OH)(2)]Cl, is built from polyborate sheets parallel to the (001) plane. These sheets stack along the [001] direction and are linked by Ce atoms exhibiting an CeO(8)Cl(2) coordination sphere. O-H⋯O and O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds additionally stabilize the structural set-up. The polyborate sheet is made up of zigzag borate chains running along t...
