Graphene Strainstronics: Prague to Production ft. Martin Rejhon

Dr. Martin Rejhon is advancing fundamental graphene research at Charles University Prague—particularly epitaxial graphene on silicon carbide. His work on strain-engineered graphene opens scalable pathways toward future optoelectronics and advanced electronic devices.

Key Takeaways

🔬 Graphene Epitaxy — Epitaxial graphene growth via thermal decomposition of silicon carbide enables scalable production techniques.

⚙️ Straintronics Innovation — Controlled strain (rather than twist angles) can tune graphene properties, opening pathways to novel electronic and optoelectronic applications.

🔍 Precision Characterisation — Raman spectroscopy and the Park Systems NX10 AFM are used to precisely map graphene structures and quality.

🏭 From Lab to Fab — Dr. Rejhon’s vision: translating graphene research from fundamental science to large-scale industrial applications.
