When oxygen atoms bind to a graphite surface, they fall into line and make bridges across carbon atoms. This is the spearhead of a chemical attack in which the atomic arrangement of solid carbon is ...

Structural characteristics of the self-assembled nr-YH peptide on graphite and molybdenite. (A to C) FM-AFM-recorded molecular resolution images of the self-assembled 3r-, 4r-, and 5r-YH peptides ...

Graphite's resilience to high temperatures and neutron damage makes it vital for nuclear reactors, yet irradiation alters its microstructure, degrading key properties. We used small- and wide-angle ...

Carbon is present in two natural crystalline allotropic forms—graphite and diamond—each with its own separate crystal structure and properties. The term graphite is derived from the Greek word ...
