Ggraphene for metamaterials: Synthesis using do-it-yourself low-cost reactor

This paper reports design of a very low-cost (less than 2000 USD) CVD reactor for graphene synthesis, based on readily available off-the-shelf components. The reactor is intended for in-house graphene synthesis in metamaterial research. The reactor was manufactured and tested, and synthesized graphene samples were found to be of a high quality.
