AB - PLD and CVD methods, plasma or bias assisted, have been used to prepare thin films of nano-clustered graphite. The experimental conditions (vz. deposition apparatus, substrate temperature, working pressure, inert sustaining gases, parent species, and applied voltage) have been changed with the final aim of obtaining small graphene particles with the basal planes oriented along the growth vector and perpendicular to the n-Si〈100〉 substrate. Pulsed laser ablation (Nd : YAG, 2nd harmonic: λ=532 nm, hν=2.33 eV, τ=7 ns, ν=10 Hz, Φ≈7 J/cm2), assisted by an RF-plasma, of a pyrolytic graphite target gave good results for nano-structure formation, provided high substrate temperature and high inert gas pressure are maintained. CVD methods, in the presence of high substrate temperature and a DC bias, showed a good attitude to drive a longitudinal growth of graphene layers and nano-wires from a reactive gas flow of Argon/Hydrogen and Methane. The morphology of the films grown at different conditions have been characterised by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Film quality and nano-particle dimensions have been estimated by Raman spectroscopy.
