We investigate the electronic properties of p-type graphene transistors on silicon dioxide with dual-cut channels that were scraped using atomic force microscope tips. In these devices, the current is forced to squeeze into the path between the two cuts rather than flow directly through the graphene sheet. We observe that the gate voltages with minimum current shift toward zero bias as the sizes of the dual-cut regions increase. These phenomena suggest that the Fermi levels in the dual-cut regions are shifted toward the Dirac points after the mechanical scraping process. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.

Tuning of the Fermi level is investigated in graphene channels using two in-plane gates with significantly different-sized isolating gaps. While the n-type tuning was achievable in both schemes, the wide-gap device had an enhanced minimum drain current and less prominent current modulation than the narrow-gap device. In addition, further p-type tuning was not observed in the wide-gap device at negative gate biases. These phenomena indicated that both devices had distinct field-strength dependences and Fermi level tuning effects, which may be critical for the practical design of devices.

By depositing atomic C atoms on the grained Cu foil by using molecular beam epitaxy technique (MBE), high-quality graphene is obtained at low substrate temperature 300 degrees C. A model of initial graphene flake formation as crystal seeds and following lateral graphene growth is established to explain the growth mechanisms. After atomic C atom deposition, no significant difference is observed before and after MBE growth. The results suggest that the deposition of atomic C atoms will not improve the crystalline quality of pre-formed C films. The low substrate temperature required would be advantageous for the practical application of graphene. (c) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

An alternate approach to the preparation of transfer-free graphitic carbon films is proposed in this paper. Using a standard radio-frequency sputtering system and a high-temperature annealing procedure, graphitic carbon films are prepared under Ni templates. The results demonstrate that carbon precipitation occurs at both Ni template interfaces. With repeated annealing procedures at 1100 degrees C, a sheet resistance of 1.36 x 10(4) Omega/square can be achieved. Selective carbon film deposition has also been developed via pattern formation on the Ni templates. The results indicate the potential application of this method to transparent electrode formation.

Complete graphene film is prepared by depositing carbon atoms directly on Cu foils in a molecular beam epitaxy chamber at 300 degrees C. The Raman spectrum of the film has indicated that high-quality few-layer graphene is obtained. With back-gated transistor architecture, the characteristic current modulation of graphene transistors is observed. Following the similar growth procedure, graphitization is observed at room temperature, which is consistent with the molecular dynamics simulations of graphene growth.

By using charcoal pencil as carbon source in the metal-catalyzed crystallization method, graphitic carbon films are demonstrated in this paper. The annealing temperature is the key issue to obtain high-quality graphitic carbon films. The mechanism of metal-catalyzed crystallization of nickel is also investigated. The investigation of fabricate graphene with metal-catalyzed crystallization of pencil carbon make it a low-cost and easy approach for large-area graphene preparation. Also observed is the graphitic carbon film underneath the Ni templates. Compared to the top layer graphene, underneath graphene has better film completeness and similar film quality. With the underneath graphene, selective graphene deposition can be easily achieved by pre-patterning the metal template. (C) 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
Passivated graphene transistors fabricated on a millimeter-sized single-crystal graphene film prepared with chemical vapor deposition

In this work, we first investigate the effects of partial pressures and flow rates of precursors on the single-crystal graphene growth using chemical vapor depositions on copper foils. These factors are shown to be critical to the growth rate, seeding density and size of graphene single crystals. The prepared graphene films in millimeter sizes are then bubbling transferred to silicon-dioxide/silicon substrates for high-mobility graphene transistor fabrications. After high-temperature annealing and hexamethyldisilazane passivation, the water attachment is removed from the graphene channel. The elimination of uncontrolled doping and enhancement of carrier mobility accompanied by these procedures indicate that they are promising for fabrications of graphene transistors.

The influence of Sb/background As flux ratios on GaSb nano-structures is investigated in this letter. With decreasing Sb/background As flux ratios under high Sb irradiation during the post soaking procedure, ring formation, photoluminescence (PL) intensity enhancement, and PL peak red shift are observed. With further reduced Sb flux and Sb/background As ratios, the observed more intense PL intensities of the quantum-ring (QR) samples compared with quantum dots suggest that more electron-hole wave function overlapping is obtained. The observation of room-temperature electro-luminescence of a QR PIN diode has revealed the potential of the nano-structure in light-emitting device application.

Uniform and large-area graphene films grown directly on sapphire substrates by using a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition system are demonstrated in this paper. The evolution process and the similar Raman spectra of the samples with different growth durations have confirmed that the continuous graphene film is formed by graphene flakes with similar sizes. The layer-by-layer growth mechanism of this approach is attributed to the preferential graphene deposition on sapphire surfaces. The etching effect of H-2 gas is demonstrated to be advantageous for the larger graphene grain formation. The smooth surface of substrates is also proved to be a key parameter for continuous graphene film formation with better crystalline quality. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.

Uniform large-size MoS2/graphene hetero-structures fabricated directly on sapphire substrates are demonstrated with layer-number controllability by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The cross-sectional high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) images provide the direct evidences of layer numbers of MoS2/graphene hetero-structures. Photo-excited electron induced Fermi level shift of the graphene channel are observed on the single MoS2/graphene hetero-structure transistors. Furthermore, double hetero-structures of graphene/MoS2/graphene are achieved by CVD fabrication of graphene layers on top of the MoS2, as confirmed by the cross-sectional HRTEM. These results have paved the possibility of epitaxially grown multi-hetero-structures for practical applications. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.

Graphitic carbon films prepared by using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on metal templates with different thicknesses deposited on SiO2/Si substrates are investigated in this paper. With thick Cu templates, only graphitic carbon flakes are obtained near the Cu grain boundaries at low growth temperatures on metal/SiO2 interfaces. By replacing the Cu templates with thin Ni templates, complete graphitic carbon films with superior crystalline quality is obtained at 600 degrees C on SiO2/Si substrates after removing the Ni templates. The enhanced attachment of the graphitic carbon film to the SiO2/Si substrates with reduced Ni thickness makes the approach a promising approach for transferring-free graphene preparation at low temperature by using MBE.
