Adsorption-induced scission of carbon-carbon bonds

Article Abstract:

Simple adsorption of brush-like macromolecules with long side chains on a substrate can induce not only conformational deformations, but also spontaneous rupture of covalent bonds in the macromolecular backbone. This behavior needs to be considered when designing surface-targeted macromolecules, either to avoid undesired degradation or to ensure rupture at predetermined macromolecular sites.

Erasing electron mass

Article Abstract:

A two-dimensional sheet of carbon a single atom thick, called graphene, was isolated in 2004 and studied. The electrons of graphene seem to be massless, relativistic particles and graphene displays exceptional structural rigidity within its layers and is an excellent conductor due to the presence of an unbound free-moving electron.

Determination of electron orbital magnetic moments in carbon nanotubes

Article Abstract:

The unusual electronic structure are the primary determinants of the transport property of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Through a experiment, the field-induced energy shifts of electronic states of individual nanotubes, are observed.
