TL;DR: The nanostructures deposited at room temperature in scanning tunneling microscopy experiments are produced by mechanical contact between tip and sample and the resistance can be as low as 100 εOmega.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the main techniques for production and processing of graphene and related materials (GRMs), as well as the key characterization procedures, adopting a 'hands-on' approach, providing practical details and procedures as derived from literature and from the authors' experience, in order to enable the reader to reproduce the results.

TL;DR: Measurements of room-temperature electronic transport in pulled metallic nanowires are presented, demonstrating that the conductance characteristics depend on the length, lateral dimensions, state and degree of disorder, and elongation mechanism of the wire.

TL;DR: This work reports the formation of C60 and the triazafullerene C57N3 from aromatic precursors using a highly efficient surface-catalysed cyclodehydrogenation process, and finds that after deposition onto a platinum (111) surface and heating to 750 K, the precursor molecules are transformed into the corresponding fullerene and triazaFULlerene molecules with about 100 per cent yield.

TL;DR: HFTCVD is reported as a new hybrid of hot filament and thermal CVD and demonstrated its feasibility by producing high quality large area strictly monolayer graphene films on Cu substrates and confirmed the mechanistic hypothesis by depositing graphene on Ni and SiO2/Si substrates.
