Abstract

Graphene, the “magic” two-dimensional material, is grown commercially using a process called chemical vapor deposition. During this process, this atomically thin material causes the underlying catalyst surface to form enormous mountainous structures, about 300 times larger than an atom in some cases, in short spans of time. The self-arrangement of atoms to form large facets is very fascinating, and fundamental to understanding the interaction between 2D-3D heterostructures. The image shows a 3D rendition of pyramids observed under graphene on copper, studied using atomic force microscopy, imagined artistically as snow-capped mountains!
