Electronic structure and physical properties of 13C carbon composite

Abstract

This review is devoted to the application of graphite and graphite composites in science and technology. Structure and electrical properties, as so technological aspects of producing of high-strength artificial graphite and dynamics of its destruction are considered. These type of graphite are traditionally used in the nuclear industry. Author was focused on the properties of graphite composites based on carbon isotope 13C. Generally, the review relies on the original results and concentrates on actual problems of application and testing of graphite materials in modern nuclear physics and science and its technology applications.
