We report experimental signatures of plasmonic effects due to electron tunneling between adjacent graphene layers. At subnanometer separation, such layers can form either a strongly coupled bilayer graphene with a Bernal stacking or a weakly coupled double-layer graphene with a random stacking order. Effects due to interlayer tunneling dominate in the former case but are negligible in the latte...

Graphene-based nanocomposites are newly emerged materials with a wide range of applications such as in supercapacitors electrode. The high conductivity and ability for passing electric current, makes Graphene an appropriate new item to be used in cells. Electroactive transition metal oxides, owing fast reversible redox pairs, are used to store electrical charge. Furthermore, the Graphene/NiO na...

Thermoplastic elastomer of PA6/NBR reinforced by various nanoparticles have wide application in many industries. The properties of these materials depend on PA6, NBR, and nanoparticle amount and characteristics. In this study, the simultaneous effect of NBR and graphene nanoparticle content on mechanical, thermal properties, and morphology of PA6/NBR/Graphene nanocomposites investigated by Cent...

Since Geim and Novoselov’s successful production of high quality graphene, its unique properties have found a number of applications. But graphene is not an exotic chemical compound; instead, it is a sheet of graphite, one atom think. Before 2008, the only way to produce graphene was through successive pealing of graphite with scotch tape until graphite flakes as thin as 1 atomic layer were lef...

the quantum transport computations have been carried on four different width of zigzag graphene using a nonequilibrium green’s function method combined with density functional theory. the computed properties are included transmittance spectrum, electrical current and quantum conductance at the 0.3v as bias voltage.  the considered systems were composed from one-layer graphene sheets differing w...

In this study PtFeCo ternary alloys nanoparticles of three dimentional (3D) rhombus shapes dispersed on graphene nanosheets (PtFeCo/Gr) were successfully prepared and studied as electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in polymer-electrolyte fuel cells. A combination of analytical techniques including powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectra, inductively coupled plasma-...

 The two-dimensional structure of graphene, consisting of an isotropic hexagonal lattice of carbon atoms, shows fascinating electronic properties, such as a gapless energy band and Dirac fermion behavior of electrons at fermi surface. Anisotropy can be induced in this structure by electrochemical pressure. In this article, by using tight-binding method, we review anisotropy effects in the elect...

Using the Computational methods, the interaction effect of Tyrosine Amino acid on Graphene wasinvestigated. For this purpose, the Density Functional Theory (DFT) in the ground state of 6-31Gwas used, and the interaction effects of Tyrosine on Graphene was investigated through attachmentto three different base positions. Different parameters such as energy levels, the amount ofChemical Shift in ...

Graphene epitaxy on the Si face of a SiC wafer offers monolayer graphene with unique crystal orientation at the wafer-scale. However, due to carrier scattering near vicinal steps and excess bilayer stripes, the size of electrically uniform domains is limited to the width of the terraces extending up to a few microns. Nevertheless, the origin of carrier scattering at the SiC vicinal steps has no...
