title: Direct Growth of Patterned Graphene.
abstract: The direct growth of single-layer graphene patterns via electron irradiation of aromatic self-assembled monolayers and subsequent annealing is demonstrated. In this way, a reduction in the number of necessary manufacturing steps is achieved. The formed micro- and nanostructures can be arbitrarily shaped and eventually implemented in a manifold of applications.
