The aim of the GRAPHENE (CNT) Working Group is to establish a highly focused forum for presenting the latest developments in graphene material growth, characterization and devices, identifying the technological bottlenecks and challenges, and brainstorming solutions to take these technologies from lab to industry.

The following topics will be discussed at the Working Groups meetings:

• Large scale catalytic growth, exfoliation and wafer bonding approaches of graphene monolayers and few layers compounds.
• Integration with other materials (nanotubes, organics, metals and semiconductors,....) uniformity, large area and high throughput production, low temperature growth, wafer scale.
• Defect characterization and defect engineering (doping, functionalization, patterning, indentation)
• Nanoelectronics (field efefct transistors), RF and Spintronics applications
• Electro-mechanical devices, probes and sensors – this covers cantilevers, scanning resonators, bearings, gas sensors, bio sensors
• Optical properties
• Theoretical properties, new device concepts
