TLDR
In this article, a simple one-step method is presented for synthesizing large single crystal graphene domains on melted copper using atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition (CVD), achieved by performing the reaction above the melting point of copper (1090 °C) and using a molybdenum support to prevent the copper from dewetting.Abstract:
A simple one-step method is presented for synthesizing large single crystal graphene domains on melted copper using atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition (CVD). This is achieved by performing the reaction above the melting point of copper (1090 °C) and using a molybdenum support to prevent balling of the copper from dewetting. By controlling the amount of hydrogen during growth, individual single crystal domains of monolayer graphene greater than 200 µm are produced, determined by electron diffraction mapping. Angular resolved photoemission spectroscopy is used to show the graphene grown on copper exhibits a linear dispersion relationship and has no sign of doping.read more

TL;DR: Control is shown over both the location and average complexity of defect formation in graphene by tailoring its exposure to a focussed electron beam and some of the created defects were stable, whereas others relaxed to simpler structures through bond rotations and surface adatom incorporation.

TL;DR: This work shows that graphene's electronic structure is captured in its Raman spectrum that clearly evolves with the number of layers, and allows unambiguous, high-throughput, nondestructive identification of graphene layers, which is critically lacking in this emerging research area.

TL;DR: It is shown that grain boundaries give a significant Raman 'D' peak, impede electrical transport, and induce prominent weak localization indicative of intervalley scattering in graphene, opening a route towards scalable fabrication of single-crystal graphene devices without grain boundaries.
