FAQ

Graphene is a form of carbon. It is organized so that each carbon atom is bonded to another three, making a flat honeycomb-like structure.

Ideal graphene is one-atom-thick. That is enough to call it two-dimensional. 

Graphene initiated worldwide research into two-dimensional materials.

GET® graphene is graphene on silicon carbide, a rigid and see-through material.    

Electronic-grade graphene has a continuous form. It stretches over the entire substrate. GET® graphene on silicon carbide is electronic grade.

Chemical graphene comes in flakes. They have the form of powder, solution, paste, or paper. G-Flake® offers flake graphene on www.gflake.shop.    

GET® team invented a genuine method to tell it. We call it the shadow method. Often, the number of the graphene layers is a fractional number between 1 and 3.     

GET® graphene on silicon carbide is quasi-free-standing. It means that there are no chemical bonds between graphene and the substrate.

A single graphene layer absorbs a portion of visible light. It looks like a subtle shadow.  

Mobility of charge carriers in GET® graphene is 2-3 times faster than in silicon.

GET® graphene is free of substitutional dopants. Still, it is p-doped through interaction with the silicon carbide substrate.

Heating in oxygen will eventually damage graphene. GET® devices come with a dielectric encapsulation. They withstand 500 °C.

Flake graphene is a valuable additive to composite materials that makes them stronger.

GET® offers encapsulation made of amorphous aluminum oxide.

GET® offers three standards: 10 mm by 10 mm, 15 mm by 15 mm, and 20 mm by 20 mm.
