Engineering a PVD based graphene synthesis method

Graphene is an important nano-material with extraordinary properties. An established PVD based Graphene synthesis method is engineered in order to demonstrate the versatility of the growth method with respect to the quality and number of layers of synthesized Graphene. Annealing temperature and annealing duration are varied to study their effect on the growth. The quality and number of layers of Graphene are verified by Raman characterization.
