Layer-by-Layer Graphene Growth on β-SiC/Si(001)

Burning Graphene Layer-by-Layer

Graphene, in single layer or multi-layer forms, holds great promise for future electronics and high-temperature applications. Resistance to oxidation, an important property for high-temperature applications, has not yet been extensively investigated. Controlled thinning of multi-layer graphene (MLG), e.g., by plasma or laser processing is another challenge, since the existing methods produce no...

Dynamic observation of layer-by-layer growth and removal of graphene on Ru(0001).

Graphene growth and dissolution on Ru(0001) was dynamically imaged by low energy electron microscopy (LEEM) and photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM). It was found that multilayer graphene grows on the metal surface in a layer-by-layer mode and the removal of graphene multilayers also occurs one layer after another. The topmost surface of the formed multilayer graphene is physically continuo...

A strategy for fabricating single layer graphene sheets based on a layer-by-layer self-assembly.

A novel approach to synthesize graphene nanosheet is explored on the basis of the layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly of polyallylamine (PAA) and poly(styrene-sulfonate) (PSS) multi-layer with a metallic dopant.

Controllable atmospheric pressure growth of mono-layer, bi-layer and tri-layer graphene.

Here we report a three-step growth method for high-quality mono-layer, bi-layer and tri-layer graphene with coverage ~90% at atmospheric pressure. The growth temperature and gas flow rate have been found to be the key factors. This method would be of great importance for the large scale production of graphene with defined thickness.
