The structure of graphite-like BCx phases (x = 1, 1.5, 3, 4, 32) has been studied using conventional X-ray diffraction. The results have been obtained, which unambiguously point to turbostratic (one- dimensionally disordered) structure of all phases under study. The crystal lattice parameters, sizes of coherent scattering domains, and microstrain values have been defined, which have allowed us to find a correlation between the structure and stoichiometry of the phases synthesized at the same temperature.

We have studied the c-axis interlayer magnetoresistance (ILMR), R_c(B) in graphite. The measurements have been performed on strongly anisotropic highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) samples in magnetic field up to B = 9 T applied both parallel a nd perpendicular to the sample c-axis in the temperature interval 2 K < T < 300 K. We have observed negative magnetoresistance, dR_c/dB < 0, for B || c-axis above a certain field B_m(T) that reaches its minimum value B_m = 5.4 T at T = 150 K. The results can be consistently understood assuming that ILMR is related to a tunneling between zero-energy Landau levels of quasi-two-dimensional Dirac fermions, in a close analogy with the behavior reported for alpha-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 [N. Tajima et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 176403 (2009)], another multilayer Dirac electron system.
We investigate the dependence of the electrical resistivity of $sim 60 $nm thick single crystalline graphite samples on the defect concentration produced by proton irradiation at very low fluences. We show that the resistivity decreases few percent a t room temperature after inducing defects at concentrations as low as $sim 0.1 $ppm due to the increase in the carrier density, in agreement with theoretical estimates. The overall results indicate that the carrier densities measured in graphite are not intrinsic but related to defects and impurities.
By means of Density Functional Theory calculations we evaluate several lithium carbonate - graphite interface models as a prototype of the Solid Electrolyte Interphase capping layer on graphite anodes in lithium-ion batteries. It is found that only a n (a,b)-oriented Li2CO3 slab promotes tight binding with graphite. Such mutual organization of the components combines their structural features and reproduces coordination environment of ions, resulting in an adhesive energy of 116 meV/{AA}2 between graphite and lithium carbonate. This model also presents a high potential affinity with bulk. The corresponding charge distribution at such interface induces an electric potential gradient, such a gradient having been experimentally observed. We regard the mentioned criteria as the key descriptors of the interface stability and recommend them as the principal assessments for such interface study. In addition, we evaluate the impact of lithiated graphite on the stability of the model interface and study the generation of different point defects as mediators for Li interface transport. It is found that Li diffusion is mainly provided by interstitials. The induced potential gradient fundamentally assists the intercalation up to lithiation ratio of 70%.

We revisited the phase diagram of the second layer of 4He on top of graphite using quantum Monte Carlo methods. Our aim was to explore the existence of the novel phases suggested recently in experimental works, and determine their properties and stab ility limits. We found evidence of a superfluid quantum phase with hexatic correlations, induced by the corrugation of the first Helium layer, and a quasi-two-dimensional supersolid corresponding to a 7/12 registered phase. The 4/7 commensurate solid was found to be unstable, while the triangular incommensurate crystals, stable at large densities, were normal.
In this work, we report our results on the geometric and electronic properties of hybrid graphite-like structure made up of silicene and boron nitride (BN) layers. We predict from our calculations that this hybrid bulk system, with alternate layers o f honeycomb silicene and BN, possesses physical properties similar to those of bulk graphite. We observe that there exists a weak van der Waals interaction between the layers of this hybrid system in contrast to the strong inter-layer covalent bonds present in multi-layers of silicene. Furthermore, our results for the electronic band structure and the density of states show that it is a semi-metal and the dispersion around the Fermi level (E_F) is parabolic in nature and thus the charge carriers in this system behave as textit{Nearly-Free Particle-Like}. These results indicate that the electronic properties of the hybrid bulk system resemble closely those of bulk graphite. Around E_F the electronic band structures have contributions only from silicene layers and the BN layer act only as a buffer layer in this hybrid system since it does not contribute to the electronic properties near E_F. In case of bi-layers of silicene with a single BN layer kept in between, we observe a linear dispersion around E_F similar to that of graphene. However, the characteristic linear dispersion become parabola-like when the system is subjected to a compression along the transverse direction. Our present calculations show that the hybrid system based on silicon and BN can be a possible candidate for two dimensional layered system akin to graphite and multi-layers of graphene.
