Graphene Castro-Neto, et al. Rev. Mod. Phys. 81 (2009) 109 Single atomic layer of graphite
Graphene Electronic Properties (isolated graphene sheets) Graphene Formation—Growth on SiC Graphene Growth on BN, Co3O4, etc.
Graphene’s band structure yields unusual properties Castro Neto EF The velocity of an electron at the Fermi level (vF) Is inversely related to meff Effective mass (m*) ~ [dE2/dk2]-1 Most semiconductors, 0.1 m0 < m* < 1 me Graphene, m* < 0.01 m0 (depending on number of carriers) Therefore, expect VERY high mobility in graphene Both holes and electrons can be carriers
Castro-Neto, et al. Rev. Mod. Phys. 81 (2009) 109 Effective mass for graphene does get very small as n~ 1012
The Big Problem with graphene: an imagined conversation: A. OK: Graphene is great, lots of interesting properties for devices! B. How do you make a device? A. You need a sheet of graphene! B. OK, how do you get a sheet of graphene? A. HOPG, scotch tape, and tweezers! B. !@#$%%
How do you “grow” graphene? You can evaporate Si from SiC(0001) (either face) Popularized by the de Heer group at Georgia Tech.
Can grow multilayer films of graphene on SiC (azimuthally rotated from each other—electronically decoupled!) Anneal at 1350 C Interfacial layer (anneal at 1150 C) SiC Auger, graphene growth on SiC, deHeer et al.

Angle resolved UPS (Emtsev, et al, PRB 77(2008) 155303) shows transition to graphene band structure
Adjacent layers on graphene /SiC are decoupled from each other, Due to azimuthal rotation
Graphene on SiC(0001) Not uniform on an atomic level, different regions due to different #s of layers, orientations M B
Graphene/SiC photoemission: varying hv can vary the sampling depth (Emtsev, et al, PRB 77 (2008) 155303
The covalently bound stretched graphene (CSG model) Emtsev, et al., PRB 77 (2008) 155303
Pertinent Questions: How do Adjacent Graphene Sheets couple electronically? Single layer Graphene (good) Many layerGraphite (meh!?) Answer: On SiC, Adjacent Sheets apparently not coupled due to azimuthal rotation When/how this transition occurs is very pertinent to devices
Core (left) and valence band (right) PES graphene growth on SiC (Emtsev, et al) Explain the implications of this for graphene coupling between layers

Suspended graphene • Graphene (few layer) on Co3O4: • Much more conductive than suspeneded graphene • Why?? • Significant doping????? • High mobility (How high)?????
Conclusion: Graphene: Large area growth on practical substrates critical for device development. Interactions with substrates and (maybe) other graphene layers are critical to device properties
