▎ 摘　　要

The present study has been carried out to experimentally determine the optical effective mass of photon in single layer graphene transferred on glass and quartz substrates, and bilayer graphene as-grown on Cu foil. Measurements have been performed in microstrip line based test fixture where first real and imaginary parts of complex relative permittivity have been obtained, then the refractive index is used to estimate the phase velocity in single and bilayer graphene, this index were found to be higher at lower frequency below 1.5 GHz. The phase velocities are found to be similar to 1.04 x 10(8) ms(-1) and similar to 1.11 x 108 ms(-1) in single and bilayer graphene, respectively and little high group velocities are found in range of 2 -26.5 GHz. In single and bilayer graphene, the optical effective mass has been found to vary from similar to 0.72 x 10(-10) m(0) to similar to 0.2 x 10(-8) m(0) in a frequency range between 1 and 26.5 GHz. We envision that reported results can help to understand the transport behaviour of photons in as-grown graphene layer in microwave frequency range. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
