Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: from small molecules through nano-sized species towards bulk graphene
Bun Chan, Amir Karton
Abstract
, where n = number of carbons]. It suggests that nano-graphene with a length larger than 10 nm would resemble properties of bulk graphene, and conversely, downsizing a nano-graphene beyond this point may lead to considerably altered properties from the bulk.
