Ballistic transport in graphene beyond linear response

Towards Ballistic Transport in Graphene

Graphene is a fascinating material for exploring fundamental science questions as well as a potential building block for novel electronic applications. In order to realize the full potential of this material the fabrication techniques of graphene devices, still in their infancy, need to be refined to better isolate the graphene layer from the environment. We present results from a study on the ...

Approaching ballistic transport in suspended graphene.

The discovery of graphene raises the prospect of a new class of nanoelectronic devices based on the extraordinary physical properties of this one-atom-thick layer of carbon. Unlike two-dimensional electron layers in semiconductors, where the charge carriers become immobile at low densities, the carrier mobility in graphene can remain high, even when their density vanishes at the Dirac point. Ho...

Heer Ballistic Transport in Graphene Nanoribbons

Graphene nanoribbons are essential components in future graphene nanoelectronics. However, in typical nanoribbons produced from lithographically patterned exfoliated graphene, the charge carriers travel only about 10 nanometers between scattering events, resulting in minimum sheet resistances of about 1 kW In contrast 40 nm wide graphene nanoribbons that are epitaxially grown on silicon carbide...
