Background:

Multi-layer graphene (MLG) shows potential for high-temperature electronics.
Oxidation resistance and controlled thinning of MLG are critical but underexplored challenges.
Existing thinning methods often result in non-uniformity and defects.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate controlled layer-by-layer thinning of suspended MLG using low-power laser processing.
To explore the oxidation mechanisms and resistance of MLG at extremely high temperatures.
To compare laser processing of suspended vs. supported MLG.

Main Methods:

Low-power laser processing of suspended high-quality MLG in a "cold-wall" reactor.
Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to model oxidation mechanisms.
Comparative analysis of supported vs. suspended MLG laser treatment.

Main Results:

Achieved controllable layer-by-layer burning (thinning) of suspended MLG at temperatures exceeding 2000 K.
Demonstrated uniform graphene gasification via laser processing in air.
Observed significantly higher rates and non-uniform burning for supported graphene samples.

Conclusions:

Suspended MLG exhibits extraordinary resistance to oxidation, enabling controlled thinning via laser processing.
This technique overcomes limitations of previous methods, paving the way for defect-free MLG.
Potential applications include high-temperature continuum light sources and scaffolding materials.
