Abstract:Remote
and van der Waals epitaxy are promising approaches for synthesizing
single crystalline membranes for flexible electronics and discovery
of new properties via extreme strain; however, a fundamental challenge
is that most materials do not wet the graphene surface. We develop
a cold seed approach for synthesizing smooth intermetallic films on
graphene that can be exfoliated to form few nanometer thick single
crystalline membranes. Our seeded GdAuGe films have narrow X-ray rocking
curve widths of 9–24 arc s… Show more
