new article on sp-carbon

Posted on by Carlo Casari
We published a new paper discussing by numerical simualtions the capability to investigate sp-carbon structures by x-ray absorption techniques. This work is the results of a collaboration between EspLORE, University of Milan and University of Milan-Bicocca. This article is published on Materials (MDPI) and belongs to the Special Issue Density Functional Theory (DFT) Calculation of Materials Properties. Title: Fingerprints of sp1 Hybridized C in the Near-Edge X-ray Absorption Spectra of Su...
