Graphene and doped-graphene synthesis by Pulse Laser Deposition: a review

2019

International audience; Graphene is a remarkable two-dimensional (2D) material that is of great interest to both academia and industry. Several methods are used to produce either pristine graphene or doped graphene. Among these methods, Pulse Laser Deposition (PLD) has proved to be an alternative route for producing graphene layers from amorphous carbon thin films, due to many advantages including the controlled film thickness and dopant compositions in the films [1]. The present talk will review the ability of PLD to produce graphene and doped graphene films, mainly with nitrogen or boron atoms [2]. The growth mechanism will be highlighted on the basis of XPS investigations in situ during …
