How Shape Of Simulated Graphene Sheets Affects Debye Scattering Patterns, Lindsay Lesh Dec 2016

How Shape Of Simulated Graphene Sheets Affects Debye Scattering Patterns, Lindsay Lesh

Honors Projects

This research is about understanding the structure of a subset of graphitic stardust found in primitive meteorites (e.g. the Murchison meteorite). The carbon grains of interest exhibit a core-rim structure, where the core – with a density less than that of the graphitic rim – comprises the majority of the grain. Previous studies have shown that the cores are comprised primarily of unlayered graphene, and it has been hypothesized that the cores are the result of the rapid freezing (quenching) of a liquid carbon droplet. Electron diffraction is sensitive to small differences in crystal structure and simulated electron diffraction powder …
