Effect of a magnetic field on weak localization and Coulomb interactions in acceptor graphite intercalation compounds

The effects of weak-localization and electron-electron interaction have to be invoked to explain anomalies in the resistivity and the magnetoresistance of quasi two-dimensional electron systems formed in acceptor graphite intercalation compounds and in prcgraphitic carbon materials. After introducing the basic concepts involved in the physics of these phenomena, a review is given of recent data for the low temperature electronic transport properties in these materials.

Graphite Intercalation

Electron microscopy can be used to study structures and phase transitions occurring in graphite intercalations compounds. The fundamental symmetry in graphite intercalation compounds is the staging periodicity whereby each intercalate layer is separated by n graphite layers, n denoting the stage index. The currently accepted model for intercalation proposed by Herold and Daumas assumes that the sample contains equal amounts of intercalant between any two graphite layers and staged regions are confined to domains. Specifically, in a stage 2 compound, the Herold-Daumas domain wall model predicts a pleated lattice plane structure.

Non Destructive

ABSTRACTRutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) is used to characterize the stoichiometry of graphite intercalation compounds (GIC). Specific application is made to several stages of different donor and acceptor compounds and to commensurate and incommensurate intercalants. A deviation from the theoretical stoichiometry is measured for most of the compounds using this non-destructive method. Within experimental error, the RBS results agree with those obtained from analysis of the (00ℓ) x-ray diffractograms and weight uptake measurements on the same samples.
