Formation of Structured Graphite Layers for Hetero-epitaxial Graphene Synthesis

KnE Engineering / Breakthrough directions of scientific research at MEPhI: Development prospects within the Strategic Academic Units / Pages 375–379

Abstract

The results of experiments on the deposition of structured graphite layers in a glow discharge with a hollow cathode on Ni(111) substrate, which is a promising matrix for hetero-epitaxial synthesis of structurally homogeneous graphene, are described. The technique shows good repeatability. The resulting layers of nano-crystalline graphite have good homogeneity, high field emission, a lot of ‘needles’ of vertically growing graphene on its surfaces.
