首先，采用高定向热解石墨 (highly oriented pyrolytic graphite, HOPG) 作为测试样品，作者发现熔融态金属锂在HOPG表面的接触角为73°，表现出良好的亲和性。

Few areas of research have captivated scientists more than the search for room-temperature superconductivity. Finding a way ...

The Home Office has denied the pests are rife in a building in London and said the HQ is 'safe and open for use'.

Mica and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) are common substrates because they are both atomically flat and fairly inert. Silicon is popular for electronic applications and lithography. Glass ...

Don’t hold your breath A team of boffins from Europe and South America have emerged from their smoke filled labs claiming a ...

储能过程的原位在线表征近年来取得许多重要进展，包括X-射线衍射、X-射线吸收谱、透射电子显微镜、核磁共振谱等表征，主要获得电极或电解质的 ...

What is claimed is that the difference from plain HOPG is the presence of parallel linear defects that result from the cleaving process, a defect line in which the authors speculate that the ...

These SWCNT can be carried from the silicon surface to another surface, as HOPG, without suffering changes on their properties. That means nanomanipulation of carbon nanotubes. (Mr Miguel Ângel ...

In certain experiments it’s valuable to have an atomically flat surface. Both Mica and HOPG (a kind of graphite) are composed of atomically flat layers. Scotch tape can be used to remove the ...

The system is vibration-resistant and may be utilized in regular classroom settings to attain atomic resolution on HOPG. With a footprint of 204 × 204 mm, it takes up very minimal space. Atomic ...
