Electron Spin Relaxation in Carbon Materials.

This article focuses on EPR relaxation measurements in various carbon samples, e.g., natural carbons-anthracite, coal, higher anthraxolites, graphite; synthetically obtained carbons-glassy carbons, fullerenes, graphene, graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, graphite monocrystals, HOPG, nanoribbons, diamonds.

Correlation analysis of atomic and single-molecule junction conductance.

The break-junction technique is widely used to measure electronic properties of nanoscale junctions including metal point-contacts and single-molecule junctions. In these measurements, conductance is measured as a function of electrode displacement yielding data that is analyzed by constructing conductance histograms to determine the most frequently observed conductance values in the nanoscale junctions. However much of the rich physics in these measurements is lost in this simple analysis technique.
