ARMAGNHAC: the first database of hydrogenated amorphous carbons
Scientific news
Hydrogenated amorphous carbons (HACs) are disordered forms of carbon studied in astrochemistry and atmospheric pollution. A new stochastic algorithm has enabled the creation of the ARMAGNHAC database, which brings together spectroscopic measurements, structures, and theoretical models. This unique repository facilitates the exploration of these materials’ properties for both astrophysical research and nanotechnological applications.
