Technology
We provide a catalytic Nano-Pen for high speed trench channeling of mono- and multilayer graphene using silver nanoparticles in an ambient environment and at elevated temperatures. A silver nanoparticle located at a graphene edge catalyzes oxidation of neighboring carbon atoms, thereby burning a trench into the graphene layer.
