  • Systems and methods for real time measurement of surface curvature and thermal expansion of small samples
    Patent number: 11248904
    Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring a curvature radius of a sample. The methods comprise: emitting a light beam from a laser source in a direction towards a beam expander; expanding a size of the light beam emitted from the laser source to create a broad laser beam; reflecting the broad laser beam off of a curved surface of the sample; creating a plurality of non-parallel laser beams by passing the reflected broad laser beam through a grating mask or a biprism; using the plurality of non-parallel laser beams to create an interference pattern at a camera image sensor; capturing a first image by the camera image sensor; and processing the first image by an image processing device to determine the curvature radius of the sample.
    Type: Grant

  • Direct Production of Large and Highly Conductive Low-Oxygen Graphene Sheets and Monodispersed Low-Oxygen Graphene Nanosheets
    Publication number: 20130266501
    Abstract: Method for making graphene sheets exfoliated by oxidation from graphite by mixing graphite powder with a solution of concentrated sulfuric acid and nitric acid and subjecting the resultant mixture to microware irradiation until a finely dispersed suspension graphene sheets is formed in the solution. Graphene sheets exfoliated by oxidation from graphite are also disclosed.
