Abstract. Due to a number of excellent electrical and optical properties highly oriented pyrolitic graphite (HOPG) is an attractive material to use for preparation of nanostructures. It has recommended itself as a calibration material for the methods of scanning probe microscopy. This study describes the mechanically processed surfaces of graphite for further use as substrates for depositing of thin films of semiconductor materials.
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.
