Graphene on silicon carbide as a basis for gas-and biosensor applications The structural, chemical, and electronic characteristics of graphene grown by thermal decomposition of a singlecrystal SiC substrate in Ar atmosphere are presented. It is shown that this technology allows the creation of high-quality monolayer graphene films

The sensitivity of gas sensors to NO 2 on the order of 1 ppb and that of biosensors to fluorescein with concentration on the order of 1 ng/mL and to bovine serum albumin-fluorescein conjugate with concentration on the order of 1 ng/mL were determined.
