After three years (2017-2020), the GRACE project is successfully closed. The final output included 9 published papers with 3 more under consideration, as well as numerous inputs to industry and standardisation bodies. This final newsletter sums up the achievements of the project.… Read More

Newsletter No. 4 includes a preview of the contents of the upcoming Good Practice Guides on the electrical characterisation of graphene, which will be published within April; reference to the new Scientific Reports paper published Taiwindows by the consortium; highlights (with a nice plot!) of the comparison of contact and non-contact methods for the characterisation of large-area CVD… Read More

The 83 IED General Meeting took place in Shanghai on 21-25 October. At the meeting, the IED/TC 113 (Nanotechnology for electrotechnical products and systems) Working Group 8 (graphene related materials) discussed several inputs that the GRACE consortium gave to the committee. The GRACE partners have strongly contributed to the drafts of new IEC Technical Specifications,… Read More

Newsletter No. 3 includes a report on the first deliverables of GRACE, the Industry Friendly Workshop which took place on 26 Sept 2019 at the Graphene Week and the 83 IEC General Meeting held in Shanghai between 21 and 25 October 2019. Click the thumbnail below to read more.… Read More

The “GRACE — Methods for the Electrical Characterization of Graphene workshop”, Thursday 26 September 2019 at 15:30, will provide an important opportunity to gain step-by-step methodology for characterising graphene’s electrical properties. The workshop comes ahead of the publication of two Good Practice Guides, which will be published by the GRACE consortium in 2020. During the GRACE… Read More

Newsletter No. 2 includes a report on the GRACE workshop on Good Practice Guides which took place on 22 May 2019. Click the thumbnail below to read more.… Read More

Graphene is being extensively investigated by industry as a potential new material for electronics. For graphene to be adopted as an electronic industrial product, accurate and reproducible characterization methods adapted to the 2D nature of graphene are crucial. But such electrical characterization methods for graphene are presently underdeveloped; and guidelines for the proper implementation of… Read More

The GRACE project, now at month 18 of its span, is making possible accurate and reproducible electrical characterisation methods suitable for graphene, both as test samples and in production lines. Key Control Characteristics (KCC) of CVD graphene samples from cm- to wafer-size samples have already been successfully measured and cross-validated by the partners. This year… Read More

Luca Callegaro represented GRACE at the EURAMET Technical Committee for Electricity and Magnetism meeting by presenting 2 posters: Graphene conductivity imaging with electrical resistance tomography Flicker noise measurements in graphene by correlation noise spectrometry The meeting was held at Cavtat-Dubrovnik (Croatia) in 27-28 September 2018 and attended by 40 people.… Read More
