Comment on "Potential energy landscape for hot electrons in periodically nanostructured graphene".
We explore the spatial variations of the unoccupied electronic states of graphene epitaxially grown on Ru(0001) and observed three unexpected features: the first graphene image state is split in energy; unlike all other image states, the split state does not follow the local work function modulation, and a new interfacial state at +3 eV appears on some areas of the surface. First-principles ca...
متن کاملVertical graphene-base hot-electron transistor.
We demonstrate vertical graphene-base hot-electron transistors (GB-HETs) with a variety of structures and material parameters. Our GB-HETs exhibit a current saturation with a high current on-off ratio (>10(5)), which results from both the vertical transport of hot electrons across the ultrathin graphene base and the filtering of hot electrons through a built-in energy barrier. The influences of...
متن کاملBiomedical Application of a Novel Nanostructured-based Electrochemical Platform for Therapeutic Monitoring of an Antiepileptic Drug; Gabapentin
Herein, gold nanoparticle had been successfully synthesized through a simple, inexpensive and clean electrochemical technique. Gold nanoparticles were directly deposited on the electrode surface using an electrochemical strategy. Then, the electrochemical deposition parameters (such as applied potential and deposition time) were optimized. 1.1 V and 250 s were applied as the optimal electrodepo...
متن کاملTerahertz Dynamics of Quantum-Confined Electrons in Carbon Nanomaterials
Low-dimensional carbon nanostructures, such as single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and graphene, offer new opportunities for terahertz science and technology. Being zero-gap systems with a linear, photon-like energy dispersion, metallic SWCNTs and graphene exhibit a variety of extraordinary properties. Their DC and linear electrical properties have been extensively studied in the last decade,...
متن کاملPhotocurrent measurements of supercollision cooling in graphene
The cooling of hot electrons in graphene is the critical process underlying the operation of exciting new graphene-based optoelectronic and plasmonic devices, but the nature of this cooling is controversial. We extract the hot-electron cooling rate near the Fermi level by using graphene as a novel photothermal thermometer that measures the electron temperature (T(t)) as it cools dynamically. We...
