Abstract
This thesis shows for the first time in-situ observation of macroscopic, high quality graphene growth on metal surfaces through surface segregation by controlling the substrate flatness and temperature. This indicates that the new technology of graphene growth was developed, which corresponds to the growth of kish graphite (one of the highest quality in the artificial graphite crystals). In particular, it is very important for this study to have shown the possibility of growing expansive single-domain graphene sheets even on a polycrystalline metal surface. These results could contribute greatly to the practical application of graphene or related materials.
