Abstract
Implementations and techniques for producing graphene are generally disclosed. A seed crystal may be affixed to a support substrate such that the seed crystal faces substantially downwardly and such that the formed graphene crystal hangs substantially downwardly. Feedstock may be provided adjacent to the seed crystal, and a laser beam may be applied to heat the seed crystal and the feedstock to grow a graphene crystal.
