Graphene Synthesis, Catalysis with Transition Metals and Their Interactions by Laser Photolysis 63 Fig. 4. Counting the number of layers of graphene by high resolution TEM (From A.C. Ferrari et al [7]) Naturally, graphene edges tend to fold and often show wrinkles in the sheet. Close analysis of the fold edge allows for the ability to count the number of layers. 1.3.2 Atomic force microscopy By atomic force microscopy (AFM) technique, one is able to view the graphene layer in all the three dimensions. From many studies, AFM images for graphene will range from 0.5 nm to 1.5 nm depending on the chemical contrast between the graphene layer and the substrate. For this reason, determination of the thickness of monolayer of graphene by AFM has to be corroborated by other available techniques such as TEM as mentioned already. 1.3.3 Raman spectroscopy Raman spectroscopy of carbon materials offers a very important versatility in distinguishing the structures carbon displays viz: amorphous carbon (a-C), tetrahedrally amorphous carbon (ta-C), graphite, highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), carbon nanotubes, carbon fullerens, diamond and now graphene. Since graphene is but a single layer of graphite, its Raman signature should contain most of the features that are contained in the graphite’s Raman signature. However, there two distinct features that stand out in a monolayer graphene that one cannot see in even two-layer graphene: (1) the slight upshift of the G peak by about 5 cm-1 and (2) the enhancement of graphite’s shoulder peak to second- order D peak (named traditionally as G) to the expense of the main G peak. When excitation laser wavelength in the Raman spectrometer is changed from 514 nm to 633 nm, the signatures become slightly noisy without much noticeable change in the phonon wave-numbers as illustrated in Fig 7.
