Research summary
Graphene is a promising nano-carbon material, and investigation of its physical properties is essential for its practical use.
To evaluate the physical properties of the graphene itself and electronic products made of graphene, Dr. Chen has developed specialized Raman microscopic systems combined with temperature and pressure control units and electronic transport setup.
He has successfully observed the growth mechanism during the CVD process and studied the electronic and phononic properties of graphene.
Also, he has succeeded in making high-quality, large-scale graphene, graphene single crystals and the twisted bilayer graphene, all of which have shown to be promising for incorporating into electronic devices.
In the near future, his research that now focuses on the development of graphene with higher quality and improved properties is expected to contribute to the practical use of the grapheme and the studies of other nanomaterials.
