* Graphene's Synthesis Defects and Its Thermal and Mechanical Properties Built a High Vacuum Chamber to anneal graphene at a series of temperatures up to over 1000 C. With Atomic Force Microscope, Raman Spectrometer and Optical Micr oscope, the anneal-induced defects on graphene (same as graphene's synthesis def ects) were investigated. Project includes graphene's preparation, processing, im aging, annealing in high vacuum, image processing and quantitative analyses of t he defects' structure and forming mechanism as well as graphene's mechanical and thermal properties. Results are to be published. * Graphene's Optical Properties Transmission and reflection measurements were performed on single- and few-layer graphene with incidence of linearly and circularly polarized lights. The experi ment observed the presence of circular dichroism for graphene. Symmetry breaking of the graphene lattice due to a soft shear mode in graphene sheet is believed to be the origin for this effect to occur. The results are published in Phys. Re v. B 82, 235430 (2010). * Studies of Interaction between Graphene and Substrates Using spherical Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) tip made of various materials (e.g . Si/SiO2), measure the interactive force spectroscopy between spherical AFM tip and graphene. By applying Derjaguin Approximation, the interactive energy betwe en graphene and a variety of substrates are obtained directly from experiment, w hich is of great significance for graphene's research and application. Results a re to be published. * Glycines on Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes for Alcohol Sensing Glycines were adsorbed on Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWNTs) to form self-as sembled Glycine-SWNT nanoclusters. After selective adsorption of alcohols such a s isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and methanol, the Glycine-SWNT field effect transistor (FET) devices exhibited pseudo-metallic transport behaviors, whereas the origin al and glycine-coated SWNT devices displayed conventional p-type transport chara cteristics. The gate field screening effect induced by instantly formed glycinealcohol pair layers is responsible for the glycine-coated carbon nanotube's sele ctive sensing of alcohols. Results are published in J. Phys. Chem. C 112, 629 (2 008). PUBLICATIONS 1. T. Jiang and J. Therrien, "Thermally Induced Ridges in Graphene", under revie w. 2. T. Jiang and A.
