报告摘要：
Graphene, a single-layer hexagonal lattice of carbon atoms, has attracted worldwide attention because of its extraordinary properties. The strong interest in graphene has been sustained by the scalable production of high-quality graphene and graphene devices. In this talk, we will discuss the latest development in the 2D Materials Research Group in NUS on the face-to-face growth and transfer of graphene on large scale silicon wafers. To enable graphene plasmonics in the mid-IR, block copolymer lithography was applied to fabricate a large-scale graphene nanodot array (centimeter scale) with controllable sizes in a high-throughput manner. The graphene nanodot array exhibited strong plasmonic resonances in the mid-IR region and broadband electric field enhancement. Plasmon-enhanced IR spectroscopy showed greater than 10-fold vibrational enhancement for self-assembled monolayer molecules and picomolar detection sensitivity for ssDNA oligomers. Reliable sensitivity and selectivity in the detection of metal ions were also demonstrated.
The growth of mosaic nanocrystalline graphene film showing high mobility and quantum hall effect at room temperature was also demonstrated. To understand the structure of grain boundaries, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) was applied to study periodic grain boundaries in monolayer graphene grown on a weakly interacting Cu(111) crystal. The periodic grain boundaries are formed after the thermal reconstruction of aperiodic boundaries, their structures agree well with the prediction of the coincident-site-lattice (CSL) theory. It is surprising that mosaic nanocrystalline graphene films, despite its high density of sinuous GB, possess fingerprints of high quality graphene film like quantum hall effect and high charge carrier mobility, although it differs from conventional CVD graphene in showing a sizable transport gap.
