We report magnetotransport measurements in ballistic graphene mesoscopic wires where the charge carrier mean free path is comparable to the wire width W. Magnetoresistance curves show characteristic peak structures where the peak field scales with the ratio of cyclotron radius R(c) and wire width W as W/R(c)=0.9±0.1,…

We introduce an approach for retrieving effective parameters of metamaterials based on the Bloch-mode analysis of quasiperiodic composite structures. We demonstrate that, in the case of single-mode propagation, a complex effective refractive index can be assigned to the structure, being restored by our method with a h…

We have investigated the use of the average local ionization energy, I[combining overline](S)(r), as a means for rapidly predicting the relative reactivities of different sites on two model graphene surfaces toward the successive addition of one, two, and three hydrogen or fluorine atoms. The I[combining overline](S)(…

The extended carbon–metal contact in graphene–metal hybrids opens new avenues for manipulating the properties of both constituents of the hybrid and for combining the functionalities of each of them. We developed a two-step ultrahigh vacuum route to fabricate high-quality nanometer-thick metal films having abrupt inte…

Graphane is a hydrogenated form of graphene with high bandgap and planar structure insensitive to a broad range of chemical substitutions. We describe an atomistic simulation approach to predict wetting properties of this new material. We determine the contact angle to be 73°. The lower hydrophobicity compared to grap…

Abstract Bismaleimide‐triazine (BT) resin/hexagonal boron nitride (h‐BN) composites are prepared, and the effects of h‐BN content on the thermal and dielectric properties are studied in the view of structure–property relationship. It is found that the introduction of the BN in the BT resin dramatically improve the the…

Nano-sized magnesium ferrite was synthesised using co-precipitation and sol-gel techniques. Structural characterisation was performed using X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer and scanning electron microscope. XRD analysis reveals the prepared samples are single phasic without an…

Disproportionation of benzyl alcohol has been identified as the source of toluene formation in the solvent free oxidation of benzyl alcohol using supported gold palladium catalysts. There is a slight increase in the disproportionation reaction, and hence the toluene selectivity, when this reaction is performed in a co…
