Abstract

A new technique utilizing nuclear resonance scattering of photons from isolated nuclear levels in the 6-9 MeV range is being used for studying the orientation of certain intercalant molecules with respect to the graphite (G) planes. This technique may be applied to intercalants containing 11B, 15N, 39K, 48Ti, 50Cr, 56Fe, 62Ni and 68Zn. As an example, the orientation of the HNO3 molecules intercalated in HOPG was studied by photon scattering from the 6.324 MeV level in 15N. Thus in C10 (HNO3) and C15(HNO3), the NO3 planes were found to be oriented at θ ˜ 90° relative to the G planes, while in the mixture of the ‘residue’ compounds C16(HNO3) and C24(HNO3), the NO3 planes were found to be nearly parallel, θ0 < 25°, relative to the G-planes.
