Abstract
The growth of graphene has been carried out on cube-textured (100) oriented Cu (CTO-Cu)
foils using chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Well-aligned triangles, self-assembled on
CTO-Cu during CVD heating in flowing hydrogen on many grains. The nucleation of
triangular graphene grains has been confirmed. This demonstrates that the shape and
possibily alignment of the graphene grains can potentially be tuned by changing the
properties of the substrate, which should ultimately lead to improved electrical properties
of the graphene. This type of graphene nucleation and alignment is novel and has not
been observed in previous studies on other copper foil samples.
