Resonant tunnelling and negative differential conductance in graphene transistors
The chemical stability of graphene and other free-standing two-dimensional crystals means that they can be stacked in different combinations to produce a new class of functional materials, designed for specific device applications. Here we report resonant tunnelling of Dirac fermions through a boron nitride barrier, a few atomic layers thick, sandwiched between two graphene electrodes. The reso...
متن کاملVisualizing atomic-scale negative differential resistance in bilayer graphene.
We investigate the atomic-scale tunneling characteristics of bilayer graphene on silicon carbide using the scanning tunneling microscopy. The high-resolution tunneling spectroscopy reveals an unexpected negative differential resistance (NDR) at the Dirac energy, which spatially varies within the single unit cell of bilayer graphene. The origin of NDR is explained by two near-gap van Hove singul...
متن کاملNegative Differential Resistance of Electrons in Graphene Barrier
The graphene is a native two-dimensional crystal material consisting of a single sheet of carbon atoms. In this unique one-atom-thick material, the electron transport is ballistic and is described by a quantum relativistic-like Dirac equation rather than by the Schrödinger equation. As a result, a graphene barrier behaves very differently compared to a common semiconductor barrier. We show that...
متن کاملNegative Differential Thermal Conductance in Graphene Nanoribbons: Toward Graphene Thermal Circuits
Graphene has received much attention due to its remarkable electronic properties. It also has exceptional thermal properties, such as an unusually high thermal conductivity. Understanding thermal transport of graphene is of great importance to the applications for future graphene‐based devices in energy efficient nanoelectronics. We have calculated the thermal current of symmetric...
متن کاملNegative Refraction with Superior Transmission in Graphene-Hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) Multilayer Hyper Crystal
In this article, we have theoretically investigated the performance of graphene-hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) multilayer structure (hyper crystal) to demonstrate all angle negative refraction along with superior transmission. hBN, one of the latest natural hyperbolic materials, can be a very strong contender to form a hyper crystal with graphene due to its excellence as a graphene-compatible su...
