Center for Functional Nanomaterials Seminar

"Optimization of Graphene Device Characteristics through Material Engineering"

Presented by Damon Farmer, IBS Thomas J. Watson Research Center

Tuesday, June 8, 2010, 1:00 pm — Bldg. 735 - Conf Rm B

Due to its linear dispersion relation and the predicted chiral nature of its quasiparticles, graphene has become a material of intense experimental and theoretical investigation. There has been rapid progress in the fabrication and understanding of graphene devices. However, many key issues still need to be addressed in order to fully exploit graphene for technological applications. For instance, the two-dimensional nature of the graphene lattice causes it to be very sensitive to its material environment. As a result, many of the challenges in the field of graphene electronics are fundamental material issues. This includes the nondestructive doping of graphene, the preservation of carrier mobility in coated graphene, and the elimination of parasitics in graphene devices. I will address and present potential solutions for each of these problems, and in doing so, will present the current state-of-the-art characteristics of low-frequency and high-frequency graphene devices.
