Studies of Unexfoliated and Exfoliated Intercalation Graphite

Abstract

The ongoing study of unexfoliated and exfoliated intercalation graphite is directed towards the understanding of its physical nature, to determine what changes take place when it is exfoliated into a low density solid, and to explore its potential as an obscurant. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is used for studying the electronic levels; X-ray diffraction is used for crystallographic information, while optical reflectivity is measured to determine its spectral response. It has been found that even after exfoliation the material remains essentially graphite.
