Single-gate bandgap opening of bilayer graphene by dual molecular doping.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dual doping-driven perpendicular electric field with opposite directions remarkably increase the on/off current ratio of bilayer graphene field-effect transistors. This unambiguously proves that it is possible to open a bandgap with two molecular dopants (F4-TCNQ and NH2 -functionalized self-assembled monolayers (SAMs)) even in a single-gate device structure.

Gate-induced insulating state in bilayer graphene devices.
The potential of graphene-based materials consisting of one or a few layers of graphite for integrated electronics originates from the large room-temperature carrier mobility in these systems (approximately 10,000 cm2 V(-1) s(-1)). However, the realization of electronic devices such as field-effect transistors will require controlling and even switching off the electrical conductivity by means ...
متن کاملMolecular doping and band-gap opening of bilayer graphene.
The ability to induce an energy band gap in bilayer graphene is an important development in graphene science and opens up potential applications in electronics and photonics. Here we report the emergence of permanent electronic and optical band gaps in bilayer graphene upon adsorption of π electron containing molecules. Adsorption of n- or p-type dopant molecules on one layer results in an asym...
متن کاملCharge neutrality and band-gap tuning of epitaxial graphene on SiC by molecular doping
Epitaxial graphene on SiC 0001 suffers from strong intrinsic n-type doping. We demonstrate that the excess negative charge can be fully compensated by noncovalently functionalizing graphene with the strong electronacceptor tetrafluorotetracyanoquinodimethane F4-TCNQ . Charge neutrality can be reached in monolayer graphene as shown in electron-dispersion spectra from angular-resolved photoemissi...
متن کاملDielectric screening and plasmons in AA-stacked bilayer graphene
The screening properties and collective excitations (plasmons) in AA-stacked bilayer graphene are studied within the random phase approximation. Whereas long-lived plasmons in single-layer graphene and in AB-stacked bilayer graphene can exist only in doped samples, we find that coherent plasmons can disperse in AA-stacked bilayer graphene even in the absence of doping. Moreover, we show that th...
متن کاملEnhanced current-rectification in bilayer graphene with an electrically tuned sloped bandgap.
We propose a novel sloped dielectric geometry in graphene as a band engineering method for widening the depletion region and increasing the electrical rectification effect in graphene pn junctions. Enhanced current-rectification was achieved in a bilayer graphene with a sloped dielectric top gate and a normal back gate. A bias was applied to the top gate to induce a spatially modulated and slop...
