Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Computer modeling and quantum-mechanical calculations were used for computational characterization of the energetic and structural properties of the graphane and graphane-like structures. Graphane-like fragments with various levels of hydrogenation were experimentally produced by mechanical exfoliation of multilayer highly oriented pyrolytic graphite preliminary doped electrolytically. Raman spectra showed the essential contribution of hydrogenated state and the correlation between the time of hydrogenation and the amplitudes of the peaks, related to “graphane-like” state.
