Superior Thermal Conductivity of Single-Layer Graphene

Alexander A. Balandin, Suchismita Ghosh, Wenzhong Bao et al. · 20 Feb 2008

We report the measurement of the thermal conductivity of a suspended single-layer graphene. The room temperature values of the thermal conductivity in the range approximately (4.84+/-0.44)x10(3) to (5.30+/-0.48)x10(3) W/mK were extracted for a single-layer graphene from the dependence of the Raman G peak frequency on the excitation laser power and independently measured G peak temperature…

Emerging Photoluminescence in Monolayer MoS<sub>2</sub>

Andrea Splendiani, L. Sun, Yuanbo Zhang et al. · 15 Mar 2010

Novel physical phenomena can emerge in low-dimensional nanomaterials. Bulk MoS(2), a prototypical metal dichalcogenide, is an indirect bandgap semiconductor with negligible photoluminescence. When the MoS(2) crystal is thinned to monolayer, however, a strong photoluminescence emerges, indicating an indirect to direct bandgap transition in this d-electron system. This observation shows that quantum confinement in layered d-electron…

Nanocrystals of Cesium Lead Halide Perovskites (CsPbX<sub>3</sub>, X = Cl, Br, and I): Novel Optoelectronic Materials Showing Bright Emission with Wide Color Gamut

Loredana Proteşescu, Sergii Yakunin, Maryna I. Bodnarchuk et al. · 29 Jan 2015

Metal halides perovskites, such as hybrid organic-inorganic CH3NH3PbI3, are newcomer optoelectronic materials that have attracted enormous attention as solution-deposited absorbing layers in solar cells with power conversion efficiencies reaching 20%. Herein we demonstrate a new avenue for halide perovskites by designing highly luminescent perovskite-based colloidal quantum dot materials. We have synthesized monodisperse colloidal nanocubes (4-15…

Graphene-Based Ultracapacitors

Meryl D. Stoller, Sungjin Park, Yanwu Zhu et al. · 13 Sep 2008

The surface area of a single graphene sheet is 2630 m(2)/g, substantially higher than values derived from BET surface area measurements of activated carbons used in current electrochemical double layer capacitors. Our group has pioneered a new carbon material that we call chemically modified graphene (CMG). CMG materials are made from 1-atom thick sheets of…

Large Area, Few-Layer Graphene Films on Arbitrary Substrates by Chemical Vapor Deposition

Alfonso Reina, Xiaoting Jia, John Ho et al. · 1 Dec 2008

In this work we present a low cost and scalable technique, via ambient pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on polycrystalline Ni films, to fabricate large area ( approximately cm2) films of single- to few-layer graphene and to transfer the films to nonspecific substrates. These films consist of regions of 1 to approximately 12 graphene layers.…

Nano Letters template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Nano Letters format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Nano Letters template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official American Chemical Society format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Nano Letters use?
Nano Letters uses Superscript numbered (ACS) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: (1) Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Nano Letters 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Nano Letters?
No. DocuGuru generates the achemso LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a American Chemical Society-ready Nano Letters document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Nano Letters template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Nano Letters format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
What is Nano Letters?
Nano Letters. It is a chemistry journal, published by American Chemical Society.
Can I export a submission-ready Nano Letters PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Nano Letters template (the achemso class) that is ready to submit to American Chemical Society, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Nano Letters template cost?
You can start writing in the Nano Letters template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Nano Letters PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
