Novel SiC and graphene-based sensor devices

One recent development in the field of SiC which has attracted much attention from across the scientific community has been the epitaxial growth of 

Graphene was predicted to be thermodynamically unstable due to its two-dimensional nature (Peierls, 1935 Landau, 1937) and, instead, roll up to form one-dimensional carbon nanotubes or fullerene-like balls. This theoretically

With the explosion of interest in graphene after the Nobel prize winning publication in 2004 (Novoselov et al., 2004), there followed a similar 

The production of graphene via the reduction of graphite oxide was first described by Hanns-Peter Boehm, an X-ray crystallographer, who isolated and identified a few, or even single, graphene sheets with transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction in 1962 (Fig. 4.10) (Boehm et al., 1962). Boehm authored the International Union of Fhire and Applied Chemistry (lUPAC) report defining the term graphene in 1994. The production of
