The synthesis of graphene nanoislands with tailored quantum properties requires an atomic
control of the morphology and crystal structure. As one reduces their size down to the
nanometer scale, domain boundary and edge energetics, as well as nucleation and growth
mechanisms impose different stability and kinetic landscape from that at the microscale. This
offers the possibility to synthesize structures that are exclusive to the nanoscale, but also
calls for fundamental growth studies in order to control them.
Abstract
The synthesis of graphene nanoislands with tailored quantum properties requires an atomic control of the morphology and crystal structure. As one reduces their size down to the nanometer scale, domain boundary and edge energetics, as well as nucleation and growth mechanisms impose different stability and kinetic landscape from that at the microscale. This offers the possibility to synthesize structures that are exclusive to the nanoscale, but also calls for fundamental growth studies in order to control them.
