Since the discovery of graphene, researchers are not only interested in monatomic layers of carbon, but also in multilayered graphene structures named graphene-like films, which can be used, for example, as sensors. An understanding of the relationship between the growth conditions and the ability of the films to respond to certain gases, the ability to obtain films with desired properties and the ability to operate their sensor properties at the synthesis stage – are all of utmost scientific interest. In our study, we considered these issues. Synthetic conditions are not the only factors that affect the properties of the graphene-like films. In this work, we show that the electrical resistance also depends upon ambient conditions. Depending on the gas present in the environment, the resistance of the films can be changed. It follows from these results that we obtained carbon films possessing a selective sensitivity to ethanol vapor.

I was examining some of your posts on this website and I believe this site is rattling
instructive! Keep putting up.Expand blog
Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. Nevertheless imagine if you added some great pictures or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this blog could definitely be one of the greatest in its field. Terrific blog!
