Fabrication and electric-field-dependent transport measurements of mesoscopic graphite devices
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed a unique micromechanical method to extract extremely thin graphite samples. Graphite crystallites with thicknesses ranging from 10 to 100 nm and lateral size ,2 mm are extracted from bulk. Mesoscopic graphite devices are fabricated from these samples for electric field-dependent conductance measurements. Strong conductance modulation as a function of gate voltage is observed in the thinner crystallite devices. The temperature-dependent resistivity measurements show more boundary scattering contribution in the thinner graphite samples. © 2005 American Institute of Physics. fDOI: 10.1063/1.1862334g

Electric field modulation of galvanomagnetic properties of mesoscopic graphite.
Electric field effect devices based on mesoscopic graphite are fabricated for galvanomagnetic measurements. Strong modulation of magnetoresistance and Hall resistance as a function of the gate voltage is observed as the sample thickness approaches the screening length. Electric field dependent Landau level formation is detected from Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations. The effective mass of electron...
متن کاملSample Size Effects on the Transport Characteristics of Mesoscopic Graphite Samples
In this work we investigated correlations between the internal microstructure and sample size (lateral as well as thickness) of mesoscopic, tens of nanometer thick graphite (multigraphene) samples and the temperature (T ) and field (B) dependence of their electrical resistivity ρ(T,B). Low energy transmission electron microscopy reveals that the original highly oriented pyrolytic graphite mater...
متن کاملDevices for spin injection & detection in graphite
Page 3 Abstract Graphene is an interesting material for applications in organic spintronics, because of its high mobility and its predicted long spin relaxation times. In practice however, only spin relaxation lengths up to 1-2 μm have been observed [1]. Materials in close proximity to graphene have been suspected to significantly influence its spintronic properties. In thick stacks of graphene...

The quantum theory for a mesoscopic electric circuit with charge discreteness is investigated. Taking the Caldirola-Kanai Hamiltonian in studding quantum mechanics of dissipative systems, we obtain the persistent current and the energy spectrum of a damped quantum LC-design mesoscopic circuit under the influence of a time-dependent external field.
متن کاملField-effect control of superconductivity and Rashba spin-orbit coupling in top-gated LaAlO3/SrTiO3 devices
The recent development in the fabrication of artificial oxide heterostructures opens new avenues in the field of quantum materials by enabling the manipulation of the charge, spin and orbital degrees of freedom. In this context, the discovery of two-dimensional electron gases (2-DEGs) at LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interfaces, which exhibit both superconductivity and strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC), ...
