Synthesis and Nano-Characterization of Graphene Single- and Few-Layer Films

Abstract

Two-dimensional materials (2DM) rapidly gained the attention of material scientists, physicists, and engineers due to breadth of their electronic properties, often combined with good mechanical and thermal functionality. Among these materials, graphene, certainly, is the best studied material with the most mature applications. Therefore, scalable synthetic technologies for growing at will various graphene materials of different properties are of paramount importance for both industry and academia.
