During the past decade, graphene --- a monolayer of carbon atoms --- has attracted enormous interest for its use in nanoelectronic device applications. The absence of bandgap, however, has stalled its use both in logic (inability to turn off) and radio fre ...
Pseudospin, an additional degree of freedom emerging in graphene as a direct consequence of its honeycomb atomic structure, is responsible for many of the exceptional electronic properties found in this material. This paper is devoted to providing a clear ...
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, consisting of single-sheets of layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD), are attracting enormous interest from both fundamental science and technology. Monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), a typical example from ...
We show that individual, isolated graphene nanoribbons, created with a molecular synthetic approach, can be assembled on functionalised wafer surfaces treated with silanes. The use of surface groups with different hydrophobicities allows tuning the density ...
Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms, exhibits excellent charge transport properties. However, due to the absence of a band gap in this two-dimensional carbon nanostructure, graphene-based field effect transistors cannot be turned off. One strategy to ...
We have realized a flexible force sensor, composed of four redundant capacitors, the operation of which is based on the measurement of a load-induced capacitance change. We use polyimide both as flexible substrate and as elastic dielectric between two leve ...
A tunable graphene-based reflective cell operating at THz is proposed for use in reconfigurable-beam reflectarrays, or similarly to implement the so-called generalized law of reflection. The change in the complex conductivity of graphene when biased by an ...
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 ...
We report a full study of graphene synthesis by CVD on Cu surface. Two CVD methods have been developed. The first is a static one, which yields monolayer of graphene at low pressure of methane in 3 minutes at 1000 C. The second one is an equimolar method w ...
In transport experiments, the quantum nature of matter becomes directly evident when changes in conductance occur only in discrete steps1, with a size determined solely by Planck's constant h. Observations of quantized steps in electrical conductance2,3 ha ...
