11. Other methods of preparing thin graphitic layers exist. The closest analogs of FLG are nanometer-sized patches of graphene on top of pytolytic graphite (12, 13), carbon films grown on single-crystal metal substrates (14), and mesoscopic graphitic disks with thickness down to ∼60 graphene layers (8, 9).
