Abstract

Graphene is a monolayer of sp² carbon atoms which forms a stable, continuous and gas-impermeable membrane. It also exhibits several exceptional properties (electrical conductivity, optical transparency, …), making it a candidate of interest for various research topics and applications (transparent electrodes, detection of chemical or biochemical compounds, ...). Since its discovery in 2004, graphene has paved the way for two-dimensional (2D) materials, which are currently the subject of extensive research. For over 15 years, Institut Néel has been developing and optimising processes for the growth of graphene by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) as well as for transferring these layers onto foreign substrates for a wide range of fundamental and applied research projects. Graphene growth process by CVD and the different forms of graphene (monolayers, multilayers, single crystals, ...) will be described. Graphene transfer onto different types of materials will be presented in the frame of various research projects.

Short Bio/CV

Arnaud CLAUDEL has a MSc (2006) and PhD (2009) in materials science and engineering from Grenoble INP. With 20 years of R&D experience in materials science, he has been previously R&D project manager in both a company (ACERDE SAS – 2006-2012) and research institutes (CEA-LITEN – 2012-2013, LMGP – 2014-2015) within fundamental and applicative research projects with academic and industrial partners. Since 2016, he is CNRS research engineer and since 2021, manager of the Epitaxial and thin layers (EpiCM) technological group at Institut Néel. His research activities are dedicated to processes for growing epitaxial and thin layers and are mainly focused on the growth and transfer of graphene layers since 2019.
