The structure of carbon graphite

Click For Summary
Graphite is composed of layers of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, which allows it to conduct electricity primarily along the planes of these layers. The unique structure contributes to its anisotropic properties, meaning it behaves differently in different directions. The conductivity is significantly higher in the plane than perpendicular to it, which is crucial for its applications in batteries and electronics. For a detailed understanding of graphite's structure, the Wikipedia page on graphite provides comprehensive information. Understanding these properties is essential for leveraging graphite in various technological applications.

hi everyone I found out that graphite carbon conduct just in one side
if there is anyone who can inform me how is the structure of this material?

Thread 'Unexpected irregular reflection signal from a high-finesse cavity'

I am observing an irregular, aperiodic noise pattern in the reflection signal of a high-finesse optical cavity (finesse ≈ 20,000). The cavity is normally operated using a standard Pound–Drever–Hall (PDH) locking configuration, where an EOM provides phase modulation. The signals shown in the attached figures were recorded with the modulation turned off. Under these conditions, when scanning the laser frequency across a cavity resonance, I expected to observe a simple reflection dip. Instead...
