Graphene Devices and New Low Dimensional Materials

虽然石墨烯仍然是一种相对较新的材料，但它已经存在了10多年，2004年发现了剥离石墨烯，2009年发现了大规模CVD石墨烯。从那时起，在合成和表征其众多特殊性能方面取得了巨大进展。我们很幸运能够成为这一非凡旅程的一部分，并在CVD石墨烯上做出了几项重要贡献，特别是使用不同同位素确定声子色散，发现弱到强无序石墨烯中的强弱局域化之间的联系，发现分形石墨烯及其对量子霍尔效应的鲁棒性，以及确定局部生长速率，仅举几个例子。我们最近的许多研究也集中在开发新的应用上，因为石墨烯的许多基本性质现在已经很好地理解了。我们现在的主要目标是使用石墨烯作为新发现的工具和平台以及基于石墨烯的应用。

While graphene is a still a relatively new material, it has now been around for a little over 10 years, with the discovery of exfoliated graphene in 2004 and of large scale CVD graphene in 2009. Since then enormous progress has been made in terms of the synthesis and characterization of its numerous exceptional properties. We were fortunate to be part of this exceptional journey and made several important contributions on CVD graphene, in particular the determination of the phonon dispersion using different isotopes, the discovery of the connection between strong and weak localization in weak to strongly disordered graphene, the discovery of fractal graphene and its robustness to the quantum Hall effect, and the determination of the local growth rates, to name just a few. A lot of our more recent research has also focused on developing new applications, since many of graphene’s fundamental properties are now well understood. The main goal for us now, is to use graphene as a tool and platform for new discoveries as well as for graphene based applications.
