Making Graphene Luminescent
We show that strong photoluminescence (PL) can be induced in single-layer graphene on using an oxygen plasma treatment. PL characteristics are spatially uniform across the flakes and connected to elastic scattering spectra distinctly different from those of gapless pristine graphene. Oxygen plasma can be used to selectively convert the topmost layer when multi-layer samples are treated
