Carbon and Graphite

Group meetings

The next meeting is scheduled in February 2025 (date to be announced) at 8 a.m. (CST). A zoom invitation will be sent via the RaDIATE Collaboration email list one week prior to the meeting.

Working documents

An Excel file collecting the material data useful for the RaDIATE collaboration is under development and can be shared upon request. Please contact Frederique Pellemoine at fpellemo@fnal.gov for more information.
