Abstract
Two-dimensional material graphene has proven to have remarkable electrical and photonic properties, opening the door to a wide range of uses, including employment under the harsh conditions of space. The creation of graphene on various substrate types is known to be possible via a number of approaches, including direct deposition and the substrate transfer process. In this work, we used an argon plasma, methane as a carbon source, and a nanoCVD-8G graphene reactor to deposit monolayer graphene (MLG) on transition metal substrates for studying the effects of gamma irradiation on the physical and electronic properties. Graphene's crystalline structure is investigated utilizing Raman and X-ray Photo Electron Spectroscopy (XPS) techniques before and after gamma irradiation. The results show that point defects predominate in the damage following gamma irradiation. The defective structure and electronic properties are connected in light of density functional theory (DFT) simulations of pristine and defective graphene.
