Fine Structure Constant Defines Visual Transparency of Graphene
Rahul R. Nair,Peter Blake,Peter Blake,Alexander N. Grigorenko,K. S. Novoselov,Timothy J. Booth,Timothy J. Booth,Tobias Stauber,Tobias Stauber,Nuno M. R. Peres,Nuno M. R. Peres,A. K. Geim +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the opacity of suspended graphene is defined solely by the fine structure constant, a = e2/hc � 1/137 (where c is the speed of light), the parameter that describes coupling between light and relativistic electrons and that is traditionally associated with quantum electrodynamics rather than materials science.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of individual gas molecules adsorbed on graphene
Fred Schedin,A. K. Geim,Sergey V. Morozov,Ernie W. Hill,Peter Blake,Mikhail I. Katsnelson,K. S. Novoselov +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that micrometre-size sensors made from graphene are capable of detecting individual events when a gas molecule attaches to or detaches from graphene's surface.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that micrometre-size sensors made from graphene are capable of detecting individual events when a gas molecule attaches to or detaches from graphenes surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of graphene's properties by reversible hydrogenation: Evidence for graphane
D. C. Elias,Rahul R. Nair,T. M. G. Mohiuddin,Sergey V. Morozov,Peter Blake,Matthew P. Halsall,Andrea C. Ferrari,Danil W. Boukhvalov,Mikhail I. Katsnelson,A. K. Geim,Kostya S. Novoselov +10 more
TL;DR: This work illustrates the concept of graphene as a robust atomic-scale scaffold on the basis of which new two-dimensional crystals with designed electronic and other properties can be created by attaching other atoms and molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Making graphene visible
Peter Blake,Ernie W. Hill,A. H. Castro Neto,K. S. Novoselov,Da Jiang,R. Yang,Timothy J. Booth,A. K. Geim +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the visibility of graphene and show that it depends strongly on both thickness of SiO2 and light wavelength, and they find that ≈100nm is the most suitable wavelength for its visual detection.
