Introduc@on          The  novel  proper@es  of  graphene  have  created  an  exuberance  among  scien@st  as  a  possible  replacement  for  silicon  in  the  microelectronics  industry  as  it  reaches  the  limits  of  Moore’s  Law.      As  a  result,  scien@st  want  to  use  graphene  in  electronic  devices  because  of  its  excellent  proper@es.  Thus,  the  objec@ve  of  my  research  project  was  to  inves@gate  one  of  these  proper@es,  the  work  func@on  of  graphene.

Summary  •  Before  a  new  layer  of  graphite  was  obtained,  HOPG  had  a  

work  func@on  of  5.04  eV  on  the  Kelvin  probe.      •  A  new  layer  of  graphite  was  obtained  on  the  HOPG  sample  

by  exfoila@on,  adhering  a  piece  of  scotch  tape  on  the  sample  and  removing  it.      

•  AUerwards,  the  sample  was  placed  on  the  Kelvin  probe,  displaying  a  reading  of  4.52  eV.      

•  This  reading  was  taken  as  the  reference  work  func@on  of  4.50  eV.    

•  Next,  a  CVD  sample  that  had  been  annealed  to  a  temperature  of  500  °C  was  placed  on  the  stage  of  the  Kelvin  probe-­‐  the  CPD  adjustment  amounted  to  .38  eV.      

•  Adding  the  CPD  difference  to  the  reference  the  work  func@on  of  4.90  eV  was  obtained  for  CVD  sample.
