Book Graphite Intercalation Compounds II

Download or read book Graphite Intercalation Compounds II written by Hartmut Zabel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research on graphite intercalation compounds often acts as a forerunner for research in other sciences. For instance, the concept of staging, which is fundamental to graphite intercalation compounds, is also relevant to surface science in connection with adsorbates on metal surfaces and to high-temperature superconducting oxide layer materials. Phonon-folding and mode-splitting effects are not only basic to graphite intercalation compounds but also to polytypical systems such as supercon ductors, superlattices, and metal and semiconductor superlattices. Charge transfer effects playa tremendously important role in many areas, and they can be most easily and fundamentally studied with intercalated graphite. This list could be augmented with many more examples. The important message, however, is that graphite inter calation compounds represent a class of materials that not only can be used for testing a variety of condensed-matter concepts, but also stimulates new ideas and approaches. This volume is the second of a two-volume set. The first volume addressed the structural and dynamical aspects of graphite intercalation compounds, together with the chemistry and intercalation of new compounds. This second volume provides an up-to-date status report from expert researchers on the transport, magnetic, elec tronic and optical properties ofthis unique class of materials. The band-structure cal culations of the various donor and acceptor compounds are discussed in depth, and detailed reviews are provided ofthe experimental verification ofthe electronic struc ture in terms of their photoemission spectra and optical properties.

This book was released on 2003-03-27 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graphite intercalation compounds are a new class of electronic materials that are classified as graphite-based host guest systems. They have specific structural features based on the alternating stacking of graphite and guest intercalate sheets. The electronic structures show two-dimensional metallic properties with a large variety of features including superconductivity. They are also interesting from the point of two-dimensional magnetic systems. This book presents the synthesis, crystal structures, phase transitions, lattice dynamics, electronic structures, electron transport properties, magnetic properties, surface phenomena, and applications of graphite intercalation compounds. The applications covered include batteries, highly conductive graphite fibers, exfoliated graphite and intercalated fullerenes and nanotubes.

Book Structure and Properties of Intercalated Graphite Fiber Polymer Composites

Download or read book Structure and Properties of Intercalated Graphite Fiber Polymer Composites written by William C. Forsman and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a clear need for high-strength, lightweight composites with improved electrical conductivity. Composites fabricated from intercalated graphite fiber show promise in satisfying that need. This research focused on the chemical aspects of fiber intercalation, stability of intercalated fibers and their relation to the mechanical and electrical properties of their epoxy composites. Early work on this project helped pin down the mechanism of formation of so-called acceptor compounds of graphite as one of oxidation by election transfer to highly electrophylic species. We then established that, at least in the prototype graphite nitrate, neutral species could be removed under vacuum, and that these labile acid species must be removed before stable composites could be prepared from the intercalated fiber. In addition, we studied the kinetics of nitric acid intercalation of graphite fiber and powder and highly ordered pyrolytic graphite and offerred a proposed mechanism based on crystallite size. Epoxy composites were fabricated from graphite fiber intercalated with nitric acid.

Book Electrical and Mechanical Properties of Intercalated Graphite Fibers

Download or read book Electrical and Mechanical Properties of Intercalated Graphite Fibers written by H. A. Goldberg and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to understand the electrical and mechanical property changes which occur when graphite fibers are intercalated, it is essential that a better understanding of the properties of the fibers prior to intercalation be developed. Research aimed at elucidating the structure-property relationships in neat carbon and graphite fibers is presented. In particular, the changes with increasing heat treatment in both electronic and structural properties are discussed. The relative importance of crystallite size, three dimensional order, and the details of disordered regions between crystallites are demonstrated by analysis of: resistance versus temperature; piezoresistance; x-ray diffraction; and intercalation behavior. Crystallite size effects must be included in order to understand the electronic structure of the fibers studied here. Arguments which demonstrate the potential importance of the disordered regions between crystallites to the anamolous resistance-temperature behavior of low-modulus, high-strength fibers are presented. Three dimensional order is shown to increase continously with heat treatment. The piezoresistance of carbon and graphite fibers is discussed in terms of a simple polycrystalline model, and useful qualitative information on the parameters needed for modelling the elastic properties of these material is obtained.

Book Graphite Intercalation Compounds I

Download or read book Graphite Intercalation Compounds I written by Hartmut Zabel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The progress of materials science depends on the development of novel materials and the development of novel experimental techniques. The research on graphite intercalation compounds combines both aspects: new compounds with strikingly new and anisotropic properties have been synthesized and analyzed during the past couple of years by means of state-of-the-art experimental methods. At the same time, the preparation of the compounds already known has improved con siderably, giving increased reliability and reproducibility of the experimental results. The high quality experimental data now available have stimulated theo retical work. Moreover, the theoretical work has had a great impact on further experimental studies, with the effect of a much improved understanding of this class of materials. This volume is dedicated to a thorough description of all relevant experimen tal and theoretical aspects of the structural and dynamical properties of graphite intercalation compounds. Because of the large number of topics, a second vol ume, which is now in preparation, will follow and will treat the electronic, transport, magnetic, and optical properties. The second volume will also contain a chapter on applications of graphite intercalation compounds. There have been a number of reviews written on selected aspects of these compounds in various journals and conference proceedings during the last couple of years, but this is the first comprehensive review since the thorough overview provided by M.S. Dresselhaus and G. Dresselhaus appeared ten years ago.

Book Structure Property Relationships in Intercalated Graphite

Download or read book Structure Property Relationships in Intercalated Graphite written by M. S. Dresselhaus and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under this contract a study has been carried out on the electronic, lattice, magnetic, structural, and thermal transport properties of intercalated graphite, including the modeling of these properties. The research program being carried out under this grant has been directed toward gaining an increased and fundamental understanding of the properties of graphite intercalation compounds in order to be able to produce better materials with more controlled physical properties. By using diverse experimental techniques it is possible to correlate and interrelate the electronic, lattice, structural, magnetic and thermal transport properties of intercalated graphite and to interpret the dependence of these properties on the stage of the intercalation compound. During the two year period of this contract major advances have been made in each of these areas. Particularly noteworthy is the use of high resolution electron microscopy to monitor the c-axis and in-plane ordering on an atomic scale. Using single crystal Kish graphite host material, we have found evidence for large regions of defect-free single phase intercalant superlattices with dimensions of at least one order of magnitude greater than expected on the basis of previous work. A major advance has been made in the use of high resolution x-ray scattering to study structural phase transitions in the graphite-bromine system. Work on superconducting compounds has been initiated.

Book Superconducting Intercalated Graphite

Download or read book Superconducting Intercalated Graphite written by Nicolas Emerya and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discovery in 2005 of superconductivity in YbC6 and CaC6, with substantially higher critical temperatures than the previously observed among the family of the graphite intercalation compounds, has largely renewed the interest for these well known lamellar compounds. Indeed, these critical temperatures reach 6.5 and 11.5 K respectively for ytterbium- and calcium-graphite phases. It was consequently interesting to collect all the informations concerning the superconductivity of these compounds from the discovery of this phenomenon observed in the heavy alkali metals graphite intercalation compounds in 1965, insisting particularly on the recent advances in this research field. After a general introduction that describes all the carbon materials, which are extremely various with dimensionalities varying from 3 to 0, leading to their large aptitude for the insertion/intercalation reactions, the authors widely developed the case of graphite: chemical bonds, crystal and electronic structures, anisotropy and ability to become a host structure. The authors insist on its strong anisotropy of chemical reactivity that allows the synthesis of very numerous intercalation compounds. The distinctive features of the intercalation reaction into graphite are reviewed (systematic charge transfer, staging, etc...) and are particularly developed in the case of the donor-type intercalation compounds, among which is precisely observed the superconductivity. For the latter, the various synthesis methods are successively described, showing the best route to use in order to obtain each type of compound. Then the authors review with detail the binary compounds, emphasising their distinctive crystal and electronic structures and also their transport properties. The authors describe the superconductivity of all the compounds belonging to this family and show this property. In the last part, the authors compare these superconducting binary intercalated graphite compounds with other lamellar superconductor: magnesium diboride. The ternary compounds are then studied, and the poly-layered nature of their intercalated sheets is given special attention. Their distinctive electronic structure is presented and their superconducting properties are described.
