Genome-inspired molecular identification in organic matter via Raman spectroscopy
Yun Liu, Nicola Ferralis, L. Taras Bryndzia +1
Rapid, non-destructive characterization of molecular level chemistry for organic matter (OM) is experimentally challenging. Raman spectroscopy is one of the most widely used techni…
Direct correlation between aromatization of carbon- rich organic matter and its visible electronic absorption edge
Nicola Ferralis, Yun Liu, Kyle D. Bake +2
The evolution of the electronic absorption edge of type I, II and III kerogen is studied by diffuse reflectance UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy. The functional form of the elect…
Nanocarbon-Based photovoltaics
Marco Bernardi, Jessica Lohrman, Priyank V. Kumar +4
Carbon materials are excellent candidates for photovoltaic solar cells: they are Earth-abundant, possess high optical absorption, and superior thermal and photostability. Here we r…
Solar Energy Generation in Three Dimensions
Marco Bernardi, Nicola Ferralis, Jin H. Wan +2
We formulate, solve computationally and study experimentally the problem of collecting solar energy in three dimensions(1-5). We demonstrate that absorbers and reflectors can be co…
Determination of substrate pinning in epitaxial and supported graphene layers via Raman scattering
Nicola Ferralis, Roya Maboudian, Carlo Carraro
The temperature-induced shift of the Raman G line in epitaxial graphene on SiC and Ni surfaces, as well as in graphene supported on SiO2, is investigated with Raman spectroscopy. T…
Probing Mechanical Properties of Graphene with Raman Spectroscopy
Nicola Ferralis
The use of Raman scattering techniques to study the mechanical properties of graphene films is reviewed here. The determination of Gruneisen parameters of suspended graphene sheets…
