Epitaxial Graphene on Metals

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Graphene Nanoelectronics

Part of the book series: NanoScience and Technology ((NANO))

Abstract

In this chapter, we review the recent results on graphene films epitaxially grown on 3d − 5d transition-metal surfaces focussing mainly on their atomic structure, aspects of chemical interaction both with the substrate and with adsorbates and the electronic structure of graphene at the interface. We discuss a possibility to prepare sandwich-like structures in the form of intercalates as a possible way to controllably tailor the electronic properties of graphene. Recent works on the templated growth of metallic nanostructures on graphene moiré are also reviewed.
