Abstract:
Different grain sizes of single-crystal graphene were successfully synthesized on copper foils by chemical vapor deposition(CVD) and their continuous polycrystalline graphene films were also obtained via two-step growth.The morphology and structure of as-synthesized graphene were characterized by optical microscopy and Raman spectroscopy.The Hall effect investigations for the transferred graphene films on SiO
2 substrates revealed that the grain size of single-crystal graphene had a great influence on the electrical properties of its continuous films,and it showed that larger grains could offer smaller square resistance and larger carrier mobility.
