This peculiar behavior is explained by the structure of graphite crystals, whose carbon atoms are arranged in sheets one atom thick. When the sheets are stacked up in a crystal, the distance between the atoms in adjoining layers is more than twice as great (3.35 angstroms*) as the distance between the atoms in the individual sheets (1.42 angstroms). In ordinary commercial graphite, microscopic crystals are jumbled almost at random, but in Pyrographite they are mostly aligned with their sheets parallel (see diagram). This builds up a layered structure that resists the motion of heat across the layers but permits easy...
