Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES)—an experimental technique based
on the photoelectric effect—is arguably the most powerful method for probing the electronic …

Grain boundaries produced during material synthesis affect both the intrinsic properties of
materials and their potential for high‐end applications. This effect is commonly observed in …

We present an overview of the main techniques for production and processing of graphene
and related materials (GRMs), as well as the key characterization procedures. We adopt …

A foundation of the modern technology that uses single-crystal silicon has been the growth
of high-quality single-crystal Si ingots with diameters up to 12 inches or larger. For many …

The production of large single-crystal metal foils with various facet indices has long been a
pursuit in materials science owing to their potential applications in crystal epitaxy, catalysis …

Single-crystal metals have distinctive properties owing to the absence of grain boundaries
and strong anisotropy. Commercial single-crystal metals are usually synthesized by bulk …

Metal foils, particularly copper and copper-nickel alloy, are commonly used to grow large-
area crystalline mono-or bi-layer graphene domains and films by chemical vapor deposition …

DOI: 10.1002/adma. 201404541 evidence for seamless stitching has been provided.[15–19]
The question is further obscured by introducing graphene growth on Ni substrate,[20] where …

The epitaxial growth of single-crystal thin films relies on the availability of a single-crystal
substrate and a strong interaction between epilayer and substrate. Previous studies have …

Wrinkles are ubiquitous for graphene films grown on various substrates by chemical vapor
deposition at high temperature due to the strain induced by thermal mismatch between the …
