Symmetry matters in graphene growth

CARBON WORLDS
Symmetry matters in graphene growth
Houston TX (SPX) Mar 18, 2015 - What lies beneath growing islands of graphene is important to its properties, according to a new study led by Rice University. Scientists at Rice analyzed patterns of graphene - a single-atom-thick sheet of carbon - grown in a furnace via chemical vapor deposition. They discovered that the geometric relationship between graphene and the substrate, the underlying material on which carbon assemble ... more
