چکیده
We study tunnel junctions consisting of a two-dimensional ferroelectric (FE) material sandwiched between graphene electrodes. formulate theory for the interplay FE polarization and induced free charges in such devices, taking into account quantum capacitance effects. predict gate-sensitive voltage difference across device, which can be measured using electrostatic force microscopy. Incorporating this tunneling current-voltage characteristics, we identify resonance peak associated with aligned Dirac cones as highly sensitive probe junction. This opens way device applications few atom-thick layers acting readable ultra-high-density memory.

Single-Particle Tunneling in Doped Graphene-Insulator-Graphene Junctions
The characteristics of tunnel junctions formed between nand p-doped graphene are investigated theoretically. The single-particle tunnel current that flows between the twodimensional electronic states of the graphene (2D-2D tunneling) is evaluated. At a voltage bias such that the Dirac points of the two electrodes are aligned, a large resonant current peak is produced. The magnitude and width of...

Realistic relaxed configurations of triaxially strained graphene quantum dots are obtained from unbiased atomistic mechanical simulations. The local electronic structure and quantum transport characteristics of y-junctions based on such dots are studied, revealing that the quasi-uniform pseudomagnetic field induced by strain restricts transport to Landau level- and edge state-assisted resonant ...

متن کاملResonant tunneling and intrinsic bistability in twisted graphene structures
We predict that vertical transport in heterostructures formed by twisted graphene layers can exhibit a unique bistability mechanism. Intrinsically bistable I -V characteristics arise from resonant tunneling and interlayer charge coupling, enabling multiple stable states in the sequential tunneling regime. We consider a simple trilayer architecture, with the outer layers acting as the source and...
