Non-relativistic local dielectric response theory has proven successful in the interpretation of Electron Energy Loss data of nanometer-size isotropic particles of different geometries. In previous work, we have adapted this model to take into account anisotropy as encountered in the case of carbon onions. We have shown that this anisotropy needs to be taken into account since important deviati...

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) has emerged as a remarkably promising photocatalyst for addressing environmental and energy issues; however, it exhibits only moderate photocatalytic activity because of its low specific surface area high recombination carriers. Preparation crystalline g-C by the molten salt method proven to be an effective improve activity. However, prepared conventional l...

J. Węgrzyn Silesian University of Technology, Faculty of Materials Engineering and Metallurgy, Katowice, Poland In the process of carbothermic reaction of SiO2 + mC, key reactions appear on the surfaces of both SiO2 and C grains. However, the values of these surfaces are not known. Assuming the simplest case, quartzite and carbon grains are spheres, total surfaces of reaction were calculated fo...
