TI  - Nanoscale tunable reduction of graphene oxide for graphene electronics.

AB  - The reduced form of graphene oxide (GO) is an attractive alternative to graphene 
      for producing large-scale flexible conductors and for creating devices that 
      require an electronic gap. We report on a means to tune the topographical and 
      electrical properties of reduced GO (rGO) with nanoscopic resolution by local 
      thermal reduction of GO with a heated atomic force microscope tip. The rGO 
      regions are up to four orders of magnitude more conductive than pristine GO. No 
      sign of tip wear or sample tearing was observed. Variably conductive nanoribbons 
      with dimensions down to 12 nanometers could be produced in oxidized epitaxial 
      graphene films in a single step that is clean, rapid, and reliable.
