GRAPHENE -SYNTHESIS

Exfoliation method

GRAPHENE –SYNTHESIS...(CONTD)

Chemical vapor deposition Transition metal layers (e.g. Ir, Pd, Ni, Cu) Furnace to be heated to 1000º C in a hydrocarbon gas Catalyzes decomposition of hydrocarbon gas the dissociated carbon

atoms Later cooling, Carbon atom precipitates to surface and graphene is

formed. large area, high quality, controllable number of layers and low defects.

GRAPHENE -SYNTHESIS...(CONTD)

Epitaxial growth

Annealing of SiC crystal at a very elevated temperature (~2000 K) in ultra-high vacuum.

Thermal desorption of Si from the top layers of SiC. Time or temperature of the heating treatment is a limiting factor.

THEORY OF RELATIVITY A stationary particle (p=0) has rest energy

A particle in motion is described by relativistic

dispersion relation

Chirality

KLEIN TUNNELING

Weak electrostatic confinement. It cannot be used as a digital switch.

GRAPHENE-DOPING Hetero atom doping

B and N –substitutional doping-similar atomic size Arc discharge

High current between graphene electrodes in presence of H2 + B2 H6 or N2 + NH3

Chemical vapour deposition

Cu film on silicon substrate as a catalyst in H2 atmosphere and CH4+NH3

Ion-irradiation

Defects are introduced through positive nitrogen ions and the samples are annealed in NH3 . In the process of annealing defects are restored ,getting N doping

Chemical modification process NO2 and NH3 creates holes and electrons respectively.Adsorption of water molecules-inexpensive, cheap, easier to

control-but performance degradationOrganic molecules

Napthalalediamene – n doping

9,10-Dibromo anthracene- p doping

Electrostatic field tuning

OTHER METHODS-OPENING BANDGAP

Applying strain to graphene Biasing bilayer graphene

APPLICATIONS

CONCLUSION Can achieve high speed in electronic devices,

which is transparent and flexible. As if now cannot be used as a digital switch

owing to Klein tunneling. Can be used in RF devices.

It is surely a candidate material to replace silicon in near future.
