Spatially-resolved structure and electronic properties of graphene on polycrystalline Ni.
We have used in situ low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM) to correlate the atomic and electronic structure of graphene films on polycrystalline Ni with nm-scale spatial resolution. Spatially resolved electron scattering measurements show that graphene monolayers formed by carbon segregation do not support the π-plasmon of graphene, indicating strong covalent bonding to the Ni. Graphene bilayer...
متن کاملCharacterisation of thin films of graphene–surfactant composites produced through a novel semi-automated method
In this paper we detail a novel semi-automated method for the production of graphene by sonochemical exfoliation of graphite in the presence of ionic surfactants, e.g., sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The formation of individual graphene flakes was confirmed by Raman spectroscopy, while the interaction of graphene with surfactants was proven by NMR spectr...
متن کاملControllable fabrication of ultrathin free-standing graphene films.
Graphene free-standing film-like or paper-like materials have attracted great attention due to their intriguing electronic, optical and mechanical properties and potential application in chemical filters, molecular storage and supercapacitors. Although significant progress has been made in fabricating graphene films or paper, there is still no effective method targeting ultrathin free-standing ...
متن کاملFabrication of Graphene Oxide Thin Films on Transparent Substrate via a Low-Voltage Electrodeposion Technique
Graphene oxide (GO) thin films were simply deposited on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate via a low-voltage electrodeposition. The GO and GO thin films were characterized by Zeta Potential, X-ray diffraction, Ultraviolet-Visible spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectrosc...
متن کاملDirect probe of linearly dispersing 2D interband plasmons in a free-standing graphene monolayer
In low-dimensional systems, a detailed understanding of plasmons and their dispersion relation is crucial for applying their optical response in the field of plasmonics. Electron energyloss spectroscopy is a direct probe of these excitations. Here we report on electron energy-loss spectroscopy results on the dispersion of the π plasmons in free-standing graphene monolayers at the momentum range...
