The non-covalent functionalisation of graphene is an attractive strategy to alter the surface chemistry of graphene without damaging its superior electrical and mechanical properties. Using the facile method of aqueous-phase functionalisation on large-scale CVD-grown graphene, we investigated the formation of different packing densities in self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of perylene bisimide derivatives and related this to the amount of substrate contamination. We were able to directly observe wet-chemically deposited SAMs in scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) on transferred CVD graphene and revealed that the densely packed perylene ad-layers adsorb with the conjugated {pi}-system of the core perpendicular to the graphene substrate. This elucidation of the non-covalent functionalisation of graphene has major implications on controlling its surface chemistry and opens new pathways for adaptable functionalisation in ambient conditions and on the large scale.

We show the emergence of fractional quantum Hall states in dry-transferred chemical vapor deposition (CVD) derived graphene assembled into heterostructures for magnetic fields from below 3 T to 35 T. Effective composite-fermion filling factors up to $ u^* = 4$ are visible and higher order composite-fermion states (with four flux quanta attached) start to emerge at the highest fields. Our results show that the quantum mobility of CVD-grown graphene is comparable to that of exfoliated graphene and, more specifically, that the $p/3$ fractional quantum Hall states have energy gaps of up to 30 K, well comparable to those observed in other silicon-gated devices based on exfoliated graphene.
Effects of annealing on chemical vapor deposited graphene are investigated via a weak localization magnetoresistance measurement. Annealing at SI{300}{celsius} in inert gases, a common cleaning procedure for graphene devices, is found to raise the de phasing rate significantly above the rate from electron-electron interactions, which would otherwise be expected to dominate dephasing at 4 K and below. This extra dephasing is apparently induced by local magnetic moments activated by the annealing process, and depends strongly on the backgate voltage applied.
We study photoluminescence (PL) spectra and exciton dynamics of MoS$_2$ monolayer (ML) grown by the chemical vapor deposition technique. In addition to the usual direct A-exciton line we observe a low-energy line of bound excitons dominating the PL s pectra at low temperatures. This line shows unusually strong redshift with increase in the temperature and submicrosecond time dynamics suggesting indirect nature of the corresponding transition. By monitoring temporal dynamics of exciton PL distribution in the ML plane we observe diffusive transport of A-excitons and measure the diffusion coefficient up to $40$~cm$^2$/s at elevated excitation powers. The bound exciton spatial distribution spreads over tens of microns in $sim 1$ $mu$s. However this spread is subdiffusive, characterized by a significant slowing down with time. The experimental findings are interpreted as a result of the interplay between the diffusion and Auger recombination of excitons.
The results of magneto-optical spectroscopy investigations of excitons in a CVD grown monolayer of WSe2 encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride are presented. The emission linewidth for the 1s state is of 4:7 meV, close to the narrowest emissions obs erved in monolayers exfoliated from bulk material. The 2s excitonic state is also observed at higher energies in the photoluminescence spectrum. Magneto-optical spectroscopy allows for the determination of the g-factors and of the spatial extent of the excitonic wave functions associated with these emissions. Our work establishes CVD grown monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides as a mature technology for optoelectronic applications.
The electronic properties of few-layer graphene grown on the carbon-face of silicon carbide (SiC) are found to be strongly dependent on the number of layers. The carrier mobility is larger in thicker graphene because substrate-related scattering is r educed in the higher layers. The carrier density dependence of the mobility is qualitatively different in thin and thick graphene, with the transition occurring at about 2 layers. The mobility increases with carrier density in thick graphene, similar to multi-layer graphene exfoliated from natural graphite, suggesting that the individual layers are still electrically coupled in spite of reports recording non-Bernal stacking order in C-face grown graphene. The Hall coefficient peak value is reduced in thick graphene due to the increased density of states. A reliable and rapid characterization tool for the layer number is therefore highly desirable. To date, AFM height determination and Raman scattering are typically used since the optical contrast of graphene on SiC is weak. However, both methods suffer from low throughput. We show that the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) contrast can give similar results with much higher throughput.
