Sequential electrochemical unzipping of single-walled carbon nanotubes to graphene ribbons revealed by in situ Raman spectroscopy and imaging.
We report an in situ Raman spectroscopic and microscopic investigation of the electrochemical unzipping of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). Observations of the radial breathing modes (RBMs) using Raman spectral mapping reveal that metallic SWNTs are opened up rapidly followed by gradual unzipping of semiconducting SWNTs. Consideration of the resonant Raman scattering theory suggests that...
متن کاملEngineered Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene for Nanoelectronics and Nanomechanics
We are exploring nanoelectronic engineering areas based on low dimensional materials, including carbon nanotubes and graphene. Our primary research focus is investigating carbon nanotube and graphene architectures for field emission applications, energy harvesting and sensing. In a second effort, we are developing a high-throughput desktop nanolithography process. Lastly, we are studying nanome...
متن کاملGraphene-Based Nanoelectronics
1. Introduction Two pioneering papers on the 2D (two-dimensional) carbon-based material graphene published in 2004 [1-2] ignited an enormous attention to this material and it did not take long before the electron device community showed interest in graphene [3-5]. Mainly graphene's excellent carrier transport properties have attracted device engineers and led to the expectation that graphene co...
متن کاملUnraveling siRNA unzipping kinetics with graphene.
Using all atom molecular dynamics simulations, we report spontaneous unzipping and strong binding of small interfering RNA (siRNA) on graphene. Our dispersion corrected density functional theory based calculations suggest that nucleosides of RNA have stronger attractive interactions with graphene as compared to DNA residues. These stronger interactions force the double stranded siRNA to spontan...
متن کاملPolycrystalline graphene ribbons as chemiresistors.
A IO N Graphene is a two-dimensional semimetal with zero band gap that exhibits excellent electrical, mechanical and thermal properties.[1,2] Transport through delocalized pi bonds allows charge carriers in graphene to achieve high mobility[3,4] for both electrons and holes, over ∼105 cm2/V·s for freely suspended graphene and >104 cm2/V·s for graphene on SiO2. Recent studies have suggested that...
