S7-E1_Graphene webinar series - Part 1 - Graphene: Basic properties, manufacturing & applications

In the EUROPRACTICE webinar co-organized by the 2D Experimental Pilot Line of the Graphene Flagship, dr. Daniel Neumaier will introduce Graphene; its basic properties, manufacturing and applications.
Graphene, the two-dimensional carbon allotrope, has attracted significant attention in the past years because of its outstanding electronic, optical and sensing properties, making it an excellent candidate for new high-performance devices.
This talk will start with a brief introduction to graphene, explaining the unique properties and key material parameters. Afterwards the perspective of graphene in several fields of application will be discussed and the key remaining challenges will be outlined. A focus will be laid on applications in the field of photodetectors for visible and IR light, magnetic fields sensors, as well as chemical and biological sensors, matching the application focus of the first MPW run offered within the 2D-EPL project.
A key challenge for these graphene-based devices is the large-scale manufacturing, which represents also the R&D focus of the 2D-EPL project. The current state-of-the-art for the fabrication of graphene-based devices will be discussed in the last part of this presentation, including the different possible fabrication routes and options, and the expected performance figures or merit.
