A Study on Graphene—Metal Contact
نویسندگان
چکیده
The contact resistance between graphene and metal electrodes is crucial for the achievement of high-performance graphene devices. In this study, we review our recent study on the graphene–metal contact characteristics from the following viewpoints: (1) metal preparation method; (2) asymmetric conductance; (3) annealing effect; (4) interfaces impact.

Making consistent contacts to graphene: effect of architecture and growth induced defects.
The effects of contact architecture, graphene defect density and metal-semiconductor work function difference on the resistivity of metal-graphene contacts have been investigated. An architecture with metal on the bottom of graphene is found to yield resistivities that are lower, by a factor of four, and most consistent as compared to metal on top of graphene. Growth defects in graphene film we...
متن کاملOrigin of Contact Resistance at Ferromagnetic Metal-Graphene Interfaces.
Edge contact geometries are thought to yield ultralow contact resistances in most nonferromagnetic metal-graphene interfaces, owing to their large metal-graphene coupling strengths. Here, we examine the contact resistance of edge- versus surface-contacted ferromagnetic metal-graphene interfaces (i.e., nickel- and cobalt-graphene interfaces) using both single-layer and few-layer graphene. Good q...
متن کاملProperties of Metal-Graphene Contacts
We present a study on the metal–graphene contact properties. Utilizing a dual-gate field-effect transistor device, an energetic separation between the Fermi level and the Dirac point in the contact areas can be adjusted deliberately by applying an appropriate front-gate voltage that acts only on the channel. This front-gate voltage is compensated by an opposite large-area backgate voltage, ther...
متن کاملPreparation of Nanocomposite Heteropoly Metalate Based Graphene Oxide: Insight into Cadmium Adsorption
We developed a facile strategy for preparation of heteropoly metalate/graphene oxide nanocomposite as a new ion exchanger for cadmium ion removal from aqueous solution. The synthesized nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Our findings indicated that the combination of heteropoly metalate nanoparticles ...
متن کاملContact-dependent mechanical properties of graphene nanoribbons: an ab initio study.
The mechanical properties of graphene nanoribbons on Ni(111) surfaces with different contact sizes are investigated by means of density functional theory. For finite contact sizes, the stress behavior of graphene nanoribbons on metal electrodes is likely to be similar to that of suspended graphene, however the critical strain is not reached due to the sliding friction at the interface. The comp...
