Thermodynamic properties of materials containing hydrated fullerene inclusions at extra low temperatures

Project Team Ph. D. О. Romantsova
   
Period 2024 - 2024
   
Summary: The objective of this proposal was to verify and further explore the distinctive features identified in low-temperature heat capacity studies in low-dimensional carbon-based systems. These materials, including graphene oxide and fullerene, were of particular interest due to their unique structural and thermal properties. The goal was to gain a better understanding of the type of disorder present in these systems and how it influenced their thermal behavior. During the research stay, TRGO-HyFn composites and pure fullerene sample were systematically investigated. The heat capacity measurements revealed a pronounced boson peak in the data for the fullerene sample and the composite, but none for the graphene oxide, indicating significant thermal anomalies associated with their structural and vibrational properties.
