Published: April 2013

Millimeter-size single-crystal monolayer graphene is synthesized on polycrystalline Cu foil by a method that involves suppressing loss by evaporation of the Cu at high temperature under low pressure. This significantly diminishes the number of graphene domains, and large single crystal domains up to ∼2 mm in size are grown.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how different transfer processes affect the quality, morphology, and electrical properties of monocrystalline graphene by using techniques like optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and electrical measurements.
  • It highlights that the controlled bubbling electrochemical delamination transfer method is a fast and effective way to transfer large graphene crystals without harming their quality.
  • The research also finds that the oxidation of copper surfaces alters the strain experienced by graphene before transferring it to another substrate, but this strain is minimized after the transfer, resulting in high-quality, homogeneous graphene suitable for devices with low contact resistance.

Unrestricted integration of single-crystal oxide films on arbitrary substrates has been of great interest to exploit emerging phenomena from transition metal oxides for practical applications. Here, we demonstrate the release and transfer of a freestanding single-crystalline rutile oxide nanomembranes to serve as an epitaxial template for heterogeneous integration of correlated oxides on dissimilar substrates. By selective oxidation and dissolution of sacrificial VO buffer layers from TiO/VO/TiO by HO, millimeter-size TiO single-crystalline layers are integrated on silicon without any deterioration.

Monolayer MoSe is a transition metal dichalcogenide with a narrow bandgap, high optical absorbance and large spin-splitting energy, giving it great promise for applications in the field of optoelectronics. Producing monolayer MoSe films in a reliable and scalable manner is still a challenging task as conventional chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or exfoliation based techniques are limited due to the small domains/nanosheet sizes obtained. Here, based on NaCl assisted CVD, we demonstrate the simple and stable synthesis of sub-millimeter size single-crystal MoSe monolayers with mobilities ranging from 38 to 8 cm V s.

Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy of paramagnetic species in single crystals is a powerful tool for characterizing the latter's magnetic interaction parameters in detail. Conventional ESR systems are optimized for millimeter-size samples and make use of cavities and resonators that accommodate tubes and capillaries in the range 1-5 mm. Unfortunately, in the case of many interesting materials such as enzymes and inorganic catalytic materials (e.
