This research introduced an innovative approach utilizing the electron wind force (EWF) to achieve defect annealing at significantly lower temperatures. The primary goal was to assess this method’s ...

Graphite, as an important material for Li battery anode and graphene preparation, can exist in two phases: the Bernal (2H) phase and the rhombohedral (3R) phase. The 2H phase has relatively low energy ...

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphene represent two of the most striking functional materials. Due to their outstanding mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties, these one- and two-dimensional ...

Researchers discovered that instead of high-temperature annealing, growing an extra epilayer of diamond atop the substrate after ion implantation is enough to turn the damaged layer graphite-like.
