Abstract:
1. A method for forming a graphite-based structure on a substrate comprising: (A) patterning the substrate to form a plurality of elements on the substrate, each respective element in the plurality of elements separated from an adjacent element on the substrate by a corresponding trench in a plurality of trenches in the substrate, wherein (B) concurrently generating a first graphene layer on the entire first surface and a second graphene layer on the entire second surface, wherein the second graphene layer has a thickness that is less than a difference in the first elevation and the second elevation, thereby creating the graphite-based structure in which the second graphene layer is isolated from the first graphene layer, wherein the first graphene layer comprises one or more graphene sheets and wherein the second graphene layer comprises one or more graphene sheets.
