We report a method that uses van der Waals interactions to transfer continuous, high-quality graphene films from Ge(110) to a different substrate held by hexagonal boron nitride carriers in a clean, dry environment. The transferred films…

Energetic and geometric aspects of the permeation of low-Z atoms through graphene sheets are investigated. Energy barriers and deformations are calculated via density functional theory for the permeation of H, He, Li and Be atoms at several…

We report preliminary heat capacity and vapor pressure measurements of the first and second layers of 4He adsorbed on ZYX graphite. ZYX is known to have much better crystallinity than Grafoil, the most commonly-used exfoliated graphite…

The process of hydrogen desorption from graphane (graphene sheet saturated by hydrogen adsorbed from both sides) has been studied using the method of molecular dynamics. The temperature dependences of the time of desorption onset for…

1.8 micrometer-thick magnesium hydride films were synthesized in a single-step process by reactive plasma-assisted sputtering. The MgH2 thin films, which were deposited on two types of flexible surfaces (namely graphite and polyimide foils)…

Hydrogen is a key player in global strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In order to make hydrogen a widely-used fuel, we require more efficient methods of storing it than the current standard of pressurized cylinders. An…

Point Projection Microscopy (PPM) is used to image suspended graphene using low-energy electrons (100-200eV). Because of the low energies used, the graphene is neither damaged or contaminated by the electron beam. The transparency of…

We experimentally investigated the properties of graphite layers produced by an easy and non-conventional method of repeatedly rubbing conventional random stacked graphite bulk against insulating and semiconductor substrates. The patterned…

Two-dimensional (2D) materials offer a prospect of membranes that combine negligible gas permeability with high proton conductivity and could outperform the existing proton exchange membranes used in various applications including fuel…

We study the dissociative adsorption of methane at the surface of graphene. Free energy profiles, which include activation energies for different steps of the reaction, are computed from constrained ab initio molecular dynamics. At 300 K,…

Graphene possesses a unique combination of physical properties including high carrier mobility and high current density it can sustain. In contrast to bulk metals, graphene does not completely screen the external electrostatic field. In…

We carried out quartz crystal microbalance experiments of a 5 MHz AT-cut crystal for superfluid 4He films on Grafoil (exfoliated graphite) with a small amount of 3He up to 0.40 atoms/nm2. We found that the mass decoupling from oscillating…

The computational research that will be presented compares the coherent states of multiple layer graphene versus the coherent states of lithium ions diffused within this multilayer graphene. Unlike the prevailing research on graphene…

We report on the synthesis of the epoxy-based composites with graphene fillers and testing their electromagnetic shielding efficiency by the quasi-optic free-space method in the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (220 - 325 GHz). The…

Graphene nanostructures that support surface plasmons have been utilized to create a variety of dynamically tunable light modulators, motivated by theoretical predictions of the potential for unity absorption in resonantly-excited monolayer…

In order to resolve the controversy about the low density region of the phase diagram of the 4He monolayer on graphite, we have undertaken a path integral Monte Carlo study of the system. We provide direct evidence that the low density…

Graphene is a fascinating 2D material that is being widely investigated for use in electronic devices due to its unique electronic and materials properties. Also, because of its high thermal stability and inertness, it is considered a…

Two processes have been proposed to fabricate graphene/NiFe alloy interfaces for tunneling magnetoresistance devices. One is the transfer of graphene and the other is the evaporation of alloys onto graphene. The formation energy of a NiFe…

We present exemplary results of extensive studies of mechanical, electronic and transport properties of covalent functionalization of graphene monolayers (GML) with -NH2. We report new results of ab initio studies of covalent…
