The word "graphene" in example sentences

A single carbon layer of the graphitic structure can be considered as the final member of the series naphthalene, anthracene, coronene, etc. and the term graphene should therefore be used to designate the individual carbon layers in graphite intercalation compounds. ❋ Blackbeltjones (2010)

Here, we report the production of a new graphene nanostructure-which we call a graphene nanomesh-that can open up a bandgap in a large sheet of graphene to create a semiconducting thin film. ❋ Bw (2010)

IUPAC compendium of technology states: "previously, descriptions such as graphite layers, carbon layers, or carbon sheets have been used for the term graphene ... it is not correct to use for a single layer a term which includes the term graphite, which would imply a three-dimensional structure. ❋ Blackbeltjones (2010)

The term graphene should be used only when the reactions, structural relations or other properties of individual layers are discussed. " ❋ Blackbeltjones (2010)

Graphene was discovered 2004 by Geim and Novoselov, and graphene is essential a single atomic sheet of carbon atoms, as you described, and when you stack these sheets up, you get graphite, which was well-known before this. ❋ Unknown (2010)

So the carbon bonds in graphene are only 1.4 angstroms apart. ❋ Unknown (2010)

It's similar to the stuff on your pencil, the graphite in there, but graphene is only one atom thick. ❋ Unknown (2010)

And the description of how electrons behave in graphene requires a new description of what we call a relativistic description of the electron system, and ... ❋ Unknown (2010)

So graphene is essentially the basic building block. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Because I mentioned you have to use these Dirac formulas to describe electron behavior in graphene, every time you look at it, you find something that you don't understand. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Instead of peeling it with their fingers, since graphene is so small, they used Scotch Tape, and when you touch the Scotch Tape to graphite and peel it off, and you look at the tape, you'll see like a sub-millimeter-thick layer of graphite on your tape. ❋ Unknown (2010)

So they can travel in graphene much better than other materials. ❋ Unknown (2010)

So the electrons behave in graphene as if they have zero mass. ❋ Unknown (2010)

So graphene is essentially the basic building block of carbon nanotubes, of the buckyballs that you've covered on your show, and graphite itself. ❋ Unknown (2010)

So the electrons in graphene behave as light waves and don't scatter the same way as electrons in regular materials. ❋ Unknown (2010)
