Abstract
In this talk we discuss the development of CVD reactors for 2D material growth on liquid metal catalysts compatible with in-situ characterization of the growth. This includes X-ray and optical techniques. We will show examples of how such tools can greatly enhance understanding of the nucleation and growth modes and is a great tool for the optimization of the growth recipe, yielding fully covered samples with low-defect density graphene. We will also present the in-situ tools we developed allowing mechanical interaction with the as grown graphene on liquid Cu. Finally we will discuss the ongoing developments on extending the work on other 2D materials.
