Supported graphene (SP)
The dispersion of Pos(G) values is ~4 cm-1
The dispersion of Pos(2D) values is ~2 cm-1
The mean Pos(G) denotes that the flake is under a weak compression fieldThe absence of D line and the high I2D/IG ratio denote the high quality of the single graphene crystal
The dispersion of Pos(G) values is ~2 cm-1
The dispersion of Pos(2D) values is ~10 cm-1
The slope ΔPos(2D)/ΔPos(G) is NEGATIVE(!!) – Indication of Doping The ratio I2D/IG shows a huge dipersion from almost zero up to 10. This is a strong indication of an inhomogeneous doping on the transferred graphene. Suspended graphene retains doping levels as shown by the low values of the ratio I2D/IGSuspended graphene is under tension but it is difficult to estimate the strain due to the doping interference
<Pos(2D)> ~ 2685 cm-1
<Pos(G)> ~ 1587 cm-1
Raman mapping of graphene/Cu prior to the transferring process
Graphene is slightly compressed
The ratio I2D/IG varies from 8-10
There is a maximum doping of 4.5x1012 cm-2 imposed by the substrate
Graphene transferring process is crucial for the quality of the single graphene layer in terms of the
doping and strain distributions
In CVD grown graphene transferred to PDMS, the doping imposed by the Cu substrate and the etchant
is retained either supported or suspended
