Carbon ceramics from plants: Graphitization of biomorphic matrixes
Journal Title: Semiconductor Physics, Quantum Electronics and Optoelectronics - Year 2016, Vol 19, Issue 1
Abstract
Properties of matrixes obtained from plants at various pyrolysis temperatures have been discussed. The article is devoted to graphitization of carbon matrixes obtained from plants. All stages of production, starting from preparation of the precursors up to high-temperature pyrolysis, have been considered together with some specific properties of matrixes at each stage. Previously unexplored new structural surface changes have been found. The use of potassium-doped wooden precursors showed the graphitization property of the matrix surfaces and allowed to form the matrix capillary wall coating with layers of crystalline graphite as well as graphene flakes and films with a low number of defects. New possibilities to apply these matrixes as examples of ultracapacitor, power unit filter electromagnetic interference and audio power amplifier antiresonance element have been discussed as well.

Quantitative optical trapping and optical manipulation of micro-sized objects
An optical tweezers technique is used for ultraprecise micromanipulation to measure positions of micrometer scale objects with a precision down to the nanometer scale. It consists of a high performance research microscop...
Degradation processes in LED modules
Electrical-heat-light degradation model of a light-emitting module has been developed in this work. The Monte-Carlo method was used to calculate the reliability time of LED modules with different halfwidth of LED chip se...
Electrical and dielectrical properties of composites based on (Ag1–xCux)7GeS5I mixed crystals
Polymer composites were prepared from (Ag 1–x Cu x ) 7 GeS 5 I mixed crystals grown using Bridgman–Stockbarger method. The impedance measurements were performed at room temperature in the frequency range 10 –3 –2·10 6 Hz...
Long-term radiation-induced optical darkening effects in chalcogenide glasses
In this work, it is reported that the -irradiated (2.41 MGy accumulated dose) glasses As2S3 (2 mm thick) and Ge15.8As21S63.2 (1 mm thick), both measured 10 years after -irradiation, exhibit radiation-induced optical...
Dependence of the anisotropy parameter of drag thermo-emf on the impurity concentration in the n-type germanium and silicon crystals
Features of the concentration dependences of the anisotropy parameter of thermo-emf of electron-phonon drag M in germanium and silicon crystals of n-type conductivity were found in a wide range of charge carrier concentr...
