Brief presentation of INCDIE ICPE‑CA

• interpretation of crystalline structure images at atomic level obtained by HRTEM (high‑resolution
transmission electron microscopy), establishing relations between the atomic structure and
properties of the carbon materials;
• determination of specific structural characteristics (grain sizes, proportion and phase distribution,
porosity, layer thickness) by quantitative analysis by optical microscopy;
• growth of carbon nanostructures (carbon nanotubes, graphene) on conductive or semiconductive
layer by chemical vapor phase deposition;
• obtaining special carbon materials by request’ research.
