Abstract
Optical antennas are devices that efficiently convert the energy of free propagating radiation into localized energy and vice versa. Optical antennas can be applied for sensing, photodetection, light emission, spectroscopy and so on. In this report we have demonstrated the growth of off-center graphene rings by annealing Si-terminated 6H-SiC under inert gas pressure of 0.05 atm. The eccentricity of the graphene ring can increase the efficiency of optical antennas. In addition, this bottom-up fabrication method can keep ring edges intact unlike e-beam lithography. The edge structure of the ring is, moreover, armchair edge. We found that the width of the ring depends on annealing temperature and time.
