Here we report chemical vapor deposition of graphene on gold surface at
ambient pressure. We studied effects of the growth temperature, pressure and
cooling process on the grown graphene layers. The Raman spectroscopy of the
samples reveals the essential properties of the graphene grown on gold surface.
In order to characterize the electrical properties of the grown graphene
layers, we have transferred them on insulating substrates and fabricated field
effect transistors. Owing to distinctive properties of gold, the ability to
grow graphene layers on gold surface could open new applications of graphene in
electrochemistry and spectroscopy.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure
