Journal Highlight: The thermal stability of graphene in air investigated by Raman spectroscopy
spectroscopyNOW
Aug 5, 2013
The thermal stability in air of graphene synthesized by either chemical vapor deposition or mechanical cleavage is studied, which will be useful for guiding future electronics process and chemical decoration of graphene.
It is possible to tune gold nanoparticles with peptides for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) in such a way as to side step the problematic stages inherent to other approaches to nanoplasmonic structures for analyte detection, according to Italian researchers.
