Electrical Conductivity in Graphite Foils Produced by Rolling and Pressing.

In this research paper, the factors impacting electrical conductivity of the flexible graphite foils (GFs) produced by different forming processes, namely, either by rolling or pressing, were studied. The relationship between electrical conductivity and texture and structure that formed when producing the material was examined. Correlation was determined between the texture sharpness and anisotropy of electrical conductivity, as well as the extent of impact from the substructural characteristics on the properties' values.

The Effect of Fractional Composition on the Graphite Matrices' Porosity.

Synthetic graphite of complex fractional composition was mixed with phenolic resin as a binder and pore-forming component. The mixtures were pressed and subsequently heat-treated to obtain porous matrices. The structural transformations of phenolic resin by heating up to 900 °C in oxygen and inert gas media were studied and the patterns of amorphization of fixed carbon formed on the walls of the pore system during carbonization were investigated.

Tribological Properties of Nitrate Graphite Foils.

This study investigates the tribological properties of graphite foils (GF) with densities of 1.0, 1.3, and 1.

Anisotropy of Electrical and Thermal Conductivity in High-Density Graphite Foils.

Flexible graphite foils with varying thicknesses (S = 282 ± 5 μm, M = 494 ± 7 μm, L = 746 ± 8 μm) and an initial density of 0.70 g/cm were obtained using the nitrate method. The specific electrical and thermal conductivity of these foils were investigated.

Steady-State Ultracold Plasma Created by Continuous Photoionization of Laser Cooled Atoms.

In this Letter we discuss our approach that makes possible creation of the steady-state ultracold plasma having various densities and temperatures by means of continuous two-step optical excitation of calcium atoms in the magneto-optical trap. A strongly coupled ultracold plasma can be used as an excellent test platform for studying many-body interactions associated with various plasma phenomena. The parameters of the plasma are studied using laser-induced fluorescence of calcium ions.
