Novel bilayer graphene structures produced by arc-discharge

Harris, P. (2014) Novel bilayer graphene structures produced by arc-discharge. Journal of Physics Conference Series, 522. 012067. ISSN 1742-6588 doi: 10.1088/1742-6596/522/1/012067

Abstract/Summary

A new form of carbon is described, which consists of hollow, three-dimensional shells bounded by bilayer graphene. The new carbon is produced very simply, by passing a current through graphite rods in a commercial arc-evaporation unit. Characterisation of the carbon using high resolution transmission electron microscopy is described, and the possible formation mechanism discussed.
