We investigate the quality of hydrogen plasma defined graphene edges by Raman spectroscopy, atomic resolution AFM and low temperature electronic transport measurements. The exposure of graphite samples to a remote hydrogen plasma leads to…

We demonstrate anisotropic etching of single-layer graphene by thermally-activated nickel nanoparticles. Using this technique, we obtain sub-10nm nanoribbons and other graphene nanostructures with edges aligned along a single…

Graphene is attracting vast interest due to its superior electronic and mechanical properties. However, structure and electronic properties of its edge are often neglected, although they are important for nanoscale devices because the edge…

We describe a technique for making one-dimensional ohmic contacts to individual graphene layers encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) using CF4 and O2 plasmas. The high etch selectivity of h-BN against graphene (>1000) is achieved…

We report on the etching of graphene devices with a helium ion beam, including in situ electrical measurement during lithography. The etching process can be used to nanostructure and electrically isolate different regions in a graphene…

Edge engineering is important for both fundamental research and applications as the device size decreases to nanometer scale. This is especially the case for graphene because a graphene edge shows totally different electronic properties…

Catalytic hydrogenation of graphite has recently attracted renewed attention, as a route for nano-patterning of graphene and to produce graphene nano-ribbons. These reports show that metallic nanoparticles etch surface layers of graphite,…

Most graphene nanoribbons in the experimental literature are patterned using plasma etching. Various etching processes induce different types of defects and do not necessarily result in the same electronic and structural ribbon properties.…

We use micro-Raman spectroscopy to study strain profiles in graphene monolayers suspended over SiN membranes micropatterned with holes of non-circular geometry. We show that a uniform differential pressure load $\Delta P$ over elliptical…

We demonstrate a method by which few-layer graphene samples can be etched along crystallographic axes by thermally activated metallic nanoparticles. The technique results in long (>1 micron) crystallographic edges etched through to the…

Graphene has many advantageous properties, but its lack of an electronic band gap makes this two dimensional material impractical for many nanoelectronic applications, for example field effect transistors. This problem can be circumvented…
