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…
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…
Evolution in Surface Morphology of Epitaxial Graphene Layers on SiC Induced by Controlled Structural Strain
Nicola Ferralis, Jason Kawasaki, Roya Maboudian +1
The evolution in the surface morphology of epitaxial graphene films and 6H-SiC(0001) substrates is studied by electron channeling contrast imaging. Whereas film thickness is determ…
Evidence of structural strain in epitaxial graphene layers on 6H-SiC(0001)
Nicola Ferralis, Roya Maboudian, Carlo Carraro
The early stages of epitaxial graphene layer growth on the Si-terminated 6H-SiC(0001) are investigated by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and depolarized Raman spectroscopy. The…
