the angular dependent magnetoresistance oscillation (admro) of the stage-2 ibr graphiteintercalation compound (gic) was studied between 1.8 k and 110 k in magnetic fields between 1 and 9t. there was a series of peaks in the c-axis resistance as the field direction was changed from the c axisto the (001) plane. the field independence of the angular positions of the peaks, showing that theoscilla...

The intercalation of tetrabutylammonium (TBA) cations into graphite by cation exchange from a sodium-ethylenediamine graphite intercalation compound yields a single-phase first-stage product, C(44)TBA, with a gallery expansion of 0.47 nm. The gallery dimension requires an anisotropic "flattened" cation conformation.

A ternary intercalation compound of graphite with AIF3 and F2, CXF(A1F3)J/ was prepared under fluorine atmosphere at temperatures of 20-400 °C. The typical 1st stage compound has a composition of C6F(AlF3)o,i5 with a repeat distance of 940 pm. Rapid progress in the reaction led of the formation of graphite fluoride, (C2F),,. ESCA spectra indicate that the chemical bond between host graphite and...

Ultrasonic exfoliation of expanded graphite compound obtained by cold expansion of graphite intercalated with peroxodisulfuric acid was shown to allow the creation of graphene nanoplatelets with thickness of about 5-10 nm. The resulting graphene material contained surface oxide groups. The expanded graphite intercalation compound was exfoliated by ultrasound much easier than thermally expanded ...

Palladium nanoparticles encapsulated into graphite (Pd–graphite intercalation compound: Pd–GIC) were produced from two kinds of graphite, natural graphite (average flake size: 270 mm) and kish graphite (average flake size: 15 mm). Hydrogen storage properties of Pd– GIC have been investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) between 473 and 573 K at 1.0 MPa hydrogen pressure. ...

We report anisotropy of the upper critical field (Bc2) of an intercalated graphite superconductor YbC6 (Tc = 6.5 K) determined from angular dependent magnetoresistance measurements. Though the perpendicular coherence length is much longer than interlayer spacing, measured angular dependences of Bc2 are well fitted by the Lawrence-Doniach model or the Tinkham model, which are known to be applica...

We present the first angle-resolved photoemission studies of electronic structure in CaC6, a superconducting graphite intercalation compound with T_{c}=11.6 K. We find that, contrary to theoretical models, the electron-phonon coupling on the graphene-derived Fermi sheets with high-frequency graphene-derived phonons is surprisingly strong and anisotropic. The shape of the Fermi surface is found ...

There is a great deal of fundamental and practical interest in the possibility of inducing superconductivity in a monolayer of graphene. But while bulk graphite can be made to superconduct when certain metal atoms are intercalated between its graphene sheets, the same has not been achieved in a single layer. Moreover, there is a considerable debate about the precise mechanism of superconductivi...
