The room-temperature THz spectrum of graphite nanoplatelets shows a free carrier absorption at zero frequency with an electronic scattering rate of 175 cm -1 (3.3 x 10 13 rad/s) and plasma frequency of 1675 cm -1 . The lack of a major change in Drude plasma frequency down to 4.2 K implies any band gaps in graphite nanoplatelets are less than 1 meV.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
