The sensitivity of graphene surface to adjacent conditions plays an important role that modifies the performance and characteristics of graphene devices working under ambient conditions. Quartz is a dielectric transparent material with excellent optical transmission and therefore graphene/quartz is widely used in graphene device technology. Here, graphene/quartz and graphene/plasmonic nanoparticle/quartz structures were investigated using Raman spectroscopy for applications in nanotechnology like graphene quartz fiber (GQF) multifunctional electrode. Optically induced shift of the Fermi level of graphene monolayer on quartz substrates and on Ag nanoparticles (NPs) distributed on quartz substrates was tracked by increasing the applied laser power. Strained graphene attached to quartz substrate, thermal effects, and charge transfer were discussed using the evolution of the G-peak characteristics. Well …
