Abstract
We demonstrated a new process for synthesizing a graphene sheet at the interface between solid amorphous carbon and liquid gallium. The insolubility of carbon in gallium strongly restricted the depth of graphitization, but a multilayered graphene sheet having four to six layers of graphene was produced over the entire area of the interface immediately beneath the liquid gallium. We also demonstrated the operation of an electric-field-effect device fabricated on the multilayered graphene with a back-gated configuration, and a maximum conductance modulation of 40% was observed for an applied gate voltage ranging from -100 to +100 V.Keywords
