Title: Exploring Graphene structures using nanoscale architectures
Abstract: This research delves into the intricate realm of nanoscale graphene structures
with a focus on advancing electronic applications. Through comprehensive
analysis and exploration, we investigate the unique structural features of
graphene at the nanoscale and their potential implications for the development of
cutting-edge electronic devices. By unraveling the fundamental characteristics of
nanoscale graphene, we aim to identify opportunities for optimization and
functionalization, enabling tailored designs for specific electronic
functionalities. The study aims to uncover the inherent properties of these
graphene structures and their adaptability for applications in advanced
electronics, providing insights
that contribute to the ongoing evolution of nanoelectronic technologies.
