Disorder in H <sup>+</sup> -irradiated HOPG: effect of impinging energy and dose on Raman D-band splitting and surface topography
摘要： Disorder was induced in pristine highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) by irradiation with H+ ions with energies of 0.4 MeV and 1 MeV, and doses of 1014 ions/cm2 and 1016 ions/cm2. Raman spectroscopy was used as the main technique to characterize different samples and gain new insights on the splitting of the D band into two components (D1 and D2), trying to correlate this feature of the vibrational spectrum with the impinging energy and dose. An increased ID2/IG ratio in comparison with ID1/IG was observed in the irradiated samples. This behavior indicates that the impinging energy mainly affects the D1 component, while the D2 component is strongly dominated by the dose. We expect a larger contribution of defects (originating from the rupture of C–C sp2 symmetry through the formation of C–H sp3 bonds) to the D2 component than to the D1 component. SQUID measurements of the irradiated samples showed an enhancement in the normalized remanence, as well as an increment in coercivity compared to pristine HOPG, consistent with H+-induced point-like defects as well as C–H bonds. AFM scanning after Raman and SQUID characterization showed a distribution of surface defects, which were ascribed to the burst of hydrogen blisters formed as a consequence of the irradiation process. The results presented in this work contribute to the current trend in nanotechnology in areas devoted to the control of properties by defect engineering in carbon-based materials.

Controlled ultra-thin oxidation of Graphite promoted by cobalt oxides: influence of the initial 2D CoO wetting layer
摘要： The interaction of CoO with highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) was studied using a set of complementary techniques. The morphology of the CoO thin film was determined using atomic force microscopy (AFM), whereas the electronic structure was investigated using x-ray absorption (XAS) and photoemission (PES) spectroscopies. The experimental spectra were analyzed using a configuration interaction CoO6 cluster model calculation. The early stages of growth are characterized by the formation of a CoO wetting layer at the CoO/HOPG interface. The electronic structure of the CoO wetting layer presents a clear 2D character, which is closer to the 2D HOPG substrate than to the 3D CoO bulk. This character of the wetting layer explains the posterior formation of CoO islands and excludes the alternative layer by layer growth mode. Further, the interaction between the CoO wetting layer and the outermost graphite layer favors the oxidation of the HOPG substrate which can be controlled by the thickness of the deposited CoO overlayer.

Incipient Anion Intercalation of HOPG Close to the Oxygen Evolution Potential. A Combined X-ray Photoemission and Raman Spectroscopy Study
摘要： In the present work we used two different electrochemical (EC) techniques, namely cyclic voltammetry (CV) and normal pulsed voltammetry (NPV), applied to a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) electrode for anion intercalation in two different aqueous electrolytes (i.e. perchloric and sulphuric acid). We performed comparative X-ray photoemission (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy studies at various EC potentials. The chemical analysis obtained by XPS and Raman, the latter applied in-situ and in real-time during the electrochemical processes, indicates that at oxygen evolution potential (i.e. before reaching the well-known intercalation stage potentials) the HOPG intercalation process is already active. These results suggest that the intercalated compound is efficiently obtained before reaching higher potentials, which usually cause a detriment of the graphite crystal.
