▎ 摘  要

Few-layer graphene, with Bernal stacking order, is of particular Interest to the graphene community because of its unique tunable electronic structure. A synthetic method to produce such large area graphene films with precise thickness from 2 to 4 layers would be ideal for chemists and physicists to explore the promising electronic applications of these materials. Here, large-area uniform Bernal-stacked bi-, tri-, and tetralayer graphene films were successfully synthesized on a Cu surface in selective growth windows, with a finely tuned total pressure and CH4/H-2 gas ratio. On the basis of the analyses obtained, the growth mechanism is not an independent homoexpitaxial layer-by-layer growth, but most likely a simultaneous-seeding and self-limiting process
