Synthetic graphite is made by subjecting amorphous (non-crystalline) carbon to enormously high temperatures to rearrange the carbon atoms into the proper crystal structure. Choice of feedstock is ...

The method successfully reproduced the distinctive crystal structures of both carbon (graphite and diamond) and silicon dioxide (low-quartz, low-cristobalite, and coesite). It worked. However ...

Yuuki Kubo, University of Tokyo The researchers validated their method by applying it to well-studied materials, successfully reproducing the unique crystal structures of carbon (graphite and ...

It is worthwhile to contrast the diffraction of electrons with the diffraction of light by a two dimensional grid. It is also worthwhile to take along the model of the graphite crystal structure.
