We demonstrate the crystallization of the microstrips of electrodeposited amorphous germanium (Ge) on graphene on insulator by rapid melting growth for the first time. Growth of single-crystalline Ge microstrips with (111) orientation was confirmed. The high level of compressive strain was found to...
