Abstract

In order to take advantage of the enormous potential of graphene for future electronic micro-circuits and other applications it is necessary to develop reliable, rapid and widely applicable methods to visualize graphene based structures. We report here on a micro-droplet condensation technique, which allows for quick visual identification of graphene on a variety of substrates, including some which were previously considered unsuitable for the visualization of carbon layers. The technique should also be applicable to visualize artificially patterned graphene structures which are expected to be key technologically enabling components in electronic micro-circuits and other applications. ; Comment: 12 pages, 3 figures
