Curling graphene ribbons through thermal annealing
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple process is developed to curl graphene membranes through thermal annealing. The resulting curled graphene ribbons displayed enhanced photocurrent response compared to flat graphene ribbons. The annealing temperature, the thickness of the graphene, and the type of polymethyl methacrylate used were the three key factors that influenced the morphology of graphene during thermal annealing. Each of the factors has been systematically investigated, and the transition from flat to curled graphene ribbons was observed. This work has shown a facile method to alter graphene morphology and to develop promising graphene structures for future optoelectronics. VC 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.

Scalable and Direct Growth of Graphene Micro Ribbons on Dielectric Substrates
Here we report on a scalable and direct growth of graphene micro ribbons on SiO(2) dielectric substrates using a low temperature chemical vapor deposition. Due to the fast annealing at low temperature and dewetting of Ni, continuous few-layer graphene micro ribbons grow directly on bare dielectric substrates through Ni assisted catalytic decomposition of hydrocarbon precursors. These high quali...
متن کاملEffect of Joule-Heating Annealing on Giant Magnetoimpedance of Co64Fe4Ni2B19-xSi8Cr3Alx (x = 0, 1 and 2) Melt-Spun Ribbons
In this work, we have studied the influence of dc joule-heating thermal processing on the structure, magnetoimpedance (MI) and thermal properties of Co64Fe4Ni2B19-xSi8Cr3Alx (x = 0, 1, and 2) rapidly solidified melt-spun ribbons. The nanocrystallization process was carried out by the current annealing of as-spun samples at various current densities. As-spun and joule-heated samples were studied...
متن کاملAnomalous size dependence of the thermal conductivity of graphene ribbons.
We investigated the thermal conductivity K of graphene ribbons and graphite slabs as the function of their lateral dimensions. Our theoretical model considered the anharmonic three-phonon processes to the second-order and included the angle-dependent phonon scattering from the ribbon edges. It was found that the long mean free path of the long-wavelength acoustic phonons in graphene can lead to...
متن کاملDisorder-induced gap behavior in graphene nanoribbons
We study the transport properties of graphene nanoribbons of standardized 30 nm width and varying lengths. We find that the extent of the gap observed in transport as a function of Fermi energy in these ribbons the “transport gap” does not have a strong dependence on ribbon length, while the extent of the gap as a function of source-drain voltage the “source-drain gap” increases with increasing...
متن کاملIntroducing and investigating structural and magnetic properties of ribbons Co68.5-xFe4WxSi16.5B11 (x = 0.8, 2) in amorphous and crystalline states
In this study, for the first time, cobalt base ribbons were made by adding two different amounts of tungsten with Co67.7Fe4W0.8Si16.5B11 and Co66.5Fe4W2 Si16.5B11 compounds by melt spinning in the water. The pattern of X-ray diffraction taken from these ribbons shows that these magnetic ribbons are amorphous. By using thermal analysis curves, taken from the ribbons, crystallization temperature...
