We demonstrate the crystallization of thermally deposited amorphous germanium (Ge) microstrips on single layer graphene (SLG) by rapid melting growth. Lateral growth of large grain crystalline Ge was successfully obtained over entire microstrip structure. SLG has shown its capability to suppress the...
