Molecular memory with atomically smooth graphene contacts
We report the use of bilayer graphene as an atomically smooth contact for nanoscale devices. A two-terminal bucky-ball (C60) based molecular memory is fabricated with bilayer graphene as a contact on the polycrystalline nickel electrode. Graphene provides an atomically smooth covering over an otherwise rough metal surface. The use of graphene additionally prohibits the electromigration of nicke...
متن کاملMolecular beam epitaxial growth of atomically smooth scandium nitride films
High quality scandium nitride films have been grown on magnesium oxide ~001! substrates by molecular beam epitaxy using a rf plasma source for nitrogen. Both reflection high energy electron diffraction and x-ray diffraction confirm that these films have ~001!-orientation. Atomic force microscopy reveals a surface morphology consisting of large plateaus and pyramids. The plateaus are found to be...
متن کاملCrystalline Graphene Nanoribbons with Atomically Smooth Edges via a Novel Physico- Chemical Route
A novel physico-chemical route to produce few layer graphene nanoribbons with atomically smooth edges is reported, via acid treatment (H2SO4:HNO3) followed by characteristic thermal shock processes involving extremely cold substances. Samples were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoele...
متن کاملDoping graphene with metal contacts.
Making devices with graphene necessarily involves making contacts with metals. We use density functional theory to study how graphene is doped by adsorption on metal substrates and find that weak bonding on Al, Ag, Cu, Au, and Pt, while preserving its unique electronic structure, can still shift the Fermi level with respect to the conical point by approximately 0.5 eV. At equilibrium separation...
متن کاملRaman Fingerprints of Atomically Precise Graphene Nanoribbons
Bottom-up approaches allow the production of ultranarrow and atomically precise graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with electronic and optical properties controlled by the specific atomic structure. Combining Raman spectroscopy and ab initio simulations, we show that GNR width, edge geometry, and functional groups all influence their Raman spectra. The low-energy spectral region below 1000 cm(-1) is p...
