[CCoE Notice] Graphene Seminar and Brain Storming Session on Graphene at 11:30 a.m. on Thus. 10/21

[Lewis, Lindsay R]

Dear Engineering Faculty, Researchers, and Grad Students,

In the light of the recent award of the Nobel Physics Price to the discoverers of graphene, a mini seminar on "Graphene Synthesis by Chemical Vapor Deposition" has been scheduled at 102D from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thurs. 10/21.

"Two years ago, three independent groups - one led by University of Houston's Qingkai Yu and Purdue University's Yong Chen, another by MIT's Jing Kong, and a third by Byung Hee Hong the Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) in South Korea - did just that, using chemical vapor deposition of methane to catalyze the growth of a few layers (typically less than 10) of graphene on polycrystalline nickel. The graphene was then patterned lithographically or transferred onto square-centimeter wafers of glass, Si, or plastic." -- Physics Today, August 2010.

Dr. Qingkai Yu of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and the UH Center for Advanced Materials will give a short presentation and lead a group discussions of potential research opportunities.

Sponsors:       Dr. Badri Roysam, Chair of Electrical and Computer Engineering
                Dr. Steven Pei, Executive Director, Center for Advanced Materials
