6. Chemical vapor deposition
Transition metal layers (e.g. Ir, Pd, Ni, Cu)
Furnace to be heated to 1000º C in a hydrocarbon gas
Catalyzes decomposition of hydrocarbon gas the dissociated carbon
atoms
Later cooling, Carbon atom precipitates to surface and graphene is
formed.
large area, high quality, controllable number of layers and low defects.
7. Epitaxial growth
Annealing of SiC crystal at a very elevated temperature (~2000 K) in ultra-high
vacuum.
Thermal desorption of Si from the top layers of SiC.
Time or temperature of the heating treatment is a limiting factor.

13. Massless Dirac fermions: Charged massless particles
Relativistic Quantum particles
Spin directed only along the direction of propagation-
pseudospin
A projection pseudospin on the direction of motion-
Chirality
15. Hetero atom doping
B and N –substitutional doping-similar atomic size
Arc discharge
High current between graphene electrodes in presence of H2 + B2 H6 or
N2 + NH3
Chemical vapour deposition
Cu film on silicon substrate as a catalyst in H2 atmosphere and
CH4+NH3
Ion-irradiation
Defects are introduced through positive nitrogen ions and the samples
are annealed in NH3 . In the process of annealing defects are restored
,getting N doping
16. Chemical modification process
NO2 and NH3 creates holes and electrons respectively.
Adsorption of water molecules-inexpensive, cheap, easier to
control-but performance degradation
Organic molecules
Napthalalediamene – n doping
9,10-Dibromo anthracene- p doping
Electrostatic field tuning
19. Can achieve high speed in electronic devices,
which is transparent and flexible.
As if now cannot be used as a digital switch owing
to Klein tunneling.
Can be used in RF devices.
It is surely a candidate material to replace silicon
in near future.
