Friction and dissipation in epitaxial graphene films.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have studied friction and dissipation in single and bilayer graphene films grown epitaxially on SiC. The friction on SiC is greatly reduced by a single layer of graphene and reduced by another factor of 2 on bilayer graphene. The friction contrast between single and bilayer graphene arises from a dramatic difference in electron-phonon coupling, which we discovered by means of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Bilayer graphene as a lubricant outperforms even graphite due to reduced adhesion.

Growth of Epitaxial Oxide Thin Films on Graphene
The transfer process of graphene onto the surface of oxide substrates is well known. However, for many devices, we require high quality oxide thin films on the surface of graphene. This step is not understood. It is not clear why the oxide should adopt the epitaxy of the underlying oxide layer when it is deposited on graphene where there is no lattice match. To date there has been no explanatio...
متن کاملReal-time microscopy of graphene growth on epitaxial metal films: role of template thickness and strain.
Epitaxial transition metal films have recently been introduced as substrates for the scalable synthesis of transferable graphene. Here, real-time microscopy is used to study graphene growth on epitaxial Ru films on sapphire. At high temperatures, high-quality graphene grows in macroscopic (>100 μm) domains to full surface coverage. Graphene nucleation and growth characteristics on thin (100 nm)...
متن کاملMultilayer friction and attachment effects on energy dissipation in graphene nanoresonators
We utilize classical molecular dynamics to study the effects of intrinsic, interlayer friction between graphene monolayers, as well as extrinsic attachment or clamping strength between graphene and a model silicon substrate on the energy dissipation Q-factors of oscillating graphene nanoresonators. Both interlayer friction and attachment effects are found to significantly degrade the graphene Q...
متن کاملCobalt-assisted large-area epitaxial graphene growth in thermal cracker enhanced gas source molecular beam epitaxy
Large-area epitaxial graphene films were grown on cobalt by thermal cracker enhanced gas source molecular beam epitaxy. Growth conditions including growth temperature and growth time play important roles in the resulting morphology of as-grown films. High-quality graphene films can be achieved in a small growth window. Fast cooling rate was not required in this process due to direct growth mech...
متن کاملHigh-quality AlN films grown on chemical vapor-deposited graphene films
We report the growth of high-quality AlN films on graphene. The graphene films were synthesized by CVD and then transferred onto silicon substrates. Epitaxial aluminum nitride films were deposited by DC magnetron sputtering on both graphene as an intermediate layer and silicon as a substrate. The structural characteristics of the AlN films and graphene were investigated. Highly c-axis-oriented ...
