Morphology Changes and Defects in Carbon Nanoparticles Due to Different Atom Arrangements
Motivation: Pentagon and heptagon fullerene carbon nanostructures (CNT) have potentials in superlight weight industries. CNT have structural defects caused by irregular atom arrangement during CNT growth. For better use, it needs modifications to remove defects. [...]

Boyoglu C., Boyoglu S., Adiani L., Boyoglu C., Boyoglu S., Mishra M., Rangari V., Dennis V., Singh S.R., Alabama State University, US
Nanobiotechnology and its potential to be used in treating and diagnosing general and viral infections have allowed us to step into a new realm, when dealing with Respiratory synctical virus (RSV). RSV has long been [...]
Introduction to Raman Spectroscopy as a Characterization Tool for Carbon Nanotubes, Graphene, and other Carbon Nanostructures
While there have been many publications produced in which Raman spectroscopy has been used to characterize various aspects of carbon nanostructures, there have been few works published which provide an overview of what the technique [...]
Rapid Determination of Purity of Carbon Nanotubes
Raman spectroscopy can provide for quick measurements of the carbonaceous purity of carbon nanotube samples. Carbonaceous purity is a critical parameter for many applications of carbon nanotubes. Raman spectroscopy has been reported many times in [...]
Computer Simulation and Study of Bridge–Like Radiation Defects in the Carbon Nano-Structures in Composite Materials
It is known that unique mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphene fragments can be used by introduction them into different matrices as reinforcement elements. But it should be taking into account that the [...]
Novel interdigital actuators and sensors based on highly overlapped branched carbon nanotubes
This work presents a novel interdigital structures of branched carbon nanotubes on silicon-based membranes where the heavy overlapping between neighboring lines leads to a high capacitance. The value of the capacitance is so high (of [...]
Violet-Blue Emission From TiO2/SWCNT Hybrid Structure Synthesized by a Simple Chemical Route
Using a lucid wet chemical process under room temperature, titania nanocrystallites of average size 5 nm have been adhered to the surfaces of SWCNT bundles. The hybrid structure has been characterized by high resolution transmission [...]
Enhanced Field Emission properties of Titanium decorated Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes
we report the role of Ti on the growth and field emission properties of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), prepared by microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition technique (MPECVD). First set of studies were carried out [...]
Ab initio investigation of Graphene Based Systems
First-principles calculations employing the hybrid exchange functional B3LYP are used to determine the structural parameters, electronic structure and associated properties of a graphene sheet, graphane chair and graphane boat confirmations. Graphane is found to have [...]
