We present a simple and very convincing approach to visualizing that subsequent layers of
graphene grow between the existing monolayer graphene and the copper catalyst in …

The chemical vapour deposition (CVD) growth of graphene is normally an epitaxial process,
where the atomic structure of the adlayer should copy the texture of the substrate. However …

Hydrocarbon decomposition on transition metals provides a practical way of producing
graphene. Here, ethylene deposition on Rh (111) is taken as an example. In-situ scanning …

In the transition from graphene to graphite, the addition of each individual graphene layer
modifies the electronic structure and produces a different material with unique properties …
