Detecting the translocation of DNA through a nanopore using graphene nanoribbons

Aleksandra Radenovic, Andras Kis, Ke Liu, Daria Krasnozhon, Camille Alice Raillon, Floriano Traversi, Mohamed Malik Benameur, Sergey Khlybov

Solid-state nanopores can act as single-molecule sensors and could potentially be used to rapidly sequence DNA molecules. However, nanopores are typically fabricated in insulating membranes that are as thick as 15 bases, which makes it difficult for the de ...

Investigation of the Electromechanical Properties of Graphene

Mohamed Malik Benameur

This thesis studies the optical and electro-mechanical properties of novel atomically thin crystals. It deals with the carbon based material, graphene, and with layered transition metal dichalcogenides with the common formula MX2. The first part describes ...

Visibility of dichalcogenide nanolayers

Andras Kis, Helmuth Berger, Branimir Radisavljevic, Mohamed Malik Benameur

Dichalcogenides with the common formula MX2 are layered materials with electrical properties that range from semiconducting to superconducting. Here, we describe optimal imaging conditions for the optical detection of ultrathin, two-dimensional dichalcogen ...
