In this work, high field carrier transport in two dimensional (2D) graphene is investigated. Analytical models are applied to estimate the saturation currents in graphene, based on the high scattering rate of optical phonon emission. Non-equilibrium (hot) phonon effect was studied by Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. MC simulation confirms that hot phonon effects play a dominant role in current saturation in graphene. Current degradation due to elastic scattering events is much smaller compared to the hot phonon effect. Transient phenomenon as such as velocity overshoot was also studied using MC simulation. The simulation results shows promising potential for graphene to be used in high speed electronic devices by shrinking the channel length below 100nm if electrostatic control can be exercised in the absence of a band gap.

Quantum Hall effect (QHE) is a macroscopic manifestation of quantized states which only occurs in confined two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) systems. Experimentally, QHE is hosted in high mobility 2DEG with large external magnetic field at low temperature. Two-dimensional van der Waals materials, such as graphene and black phosphorus, are considered interesting material systems to study quantum transport, because it could unveil unique host material properties due to its easy accessibility of monolayer or few-layer thin films at 2D quantum limit. Here for the first time, we report direct observation of QHE in a novel low-dimensional material system: tellurene.High-quality 2D tellurene thin films were acquired from recently reported hydrothermal method with high hole mobility of nearly 3,000 cm2/Vs at low temperatures, which allows the observation of well-developed Shubnikov-de-Haas (SdH) oscillations and QHE. A four-fold degeneracy of Landau levels in SdH oscillations and QHE was revealed. Quantum oscillations were investigated under different gate biases, tilted magnetic fields and various temperatures, and the results manifest the inherent information of the electronic structure of Te. Anomalies in both temperature-dependent oscillation amplitudes and transport characteristics were observed which are ascribed to the interplay between Zeeman effect and spin-orbit coupling as depicted by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
Spin information processing is a possible new paradigm for post-CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) electronics and efficient spin propagation over long distances is fundamental to this vision. However, despite several decades of intense research, a suitable platform is still wanting. We report here on highly efficient spin transport in two-terminal polarizer/analyser devices based on high-mobility epitaxial graphene grown on silicon carbide. Taking advantage of high-impedance injecting/detecting tunnel junctions, we show spin transport efficiencies up to 75%, spin signals in the mega-ohm range and spin diffusion lengths exceeding 100 {mu}m. This enables spintronics in complex structures: devices and network architectures relying on spin information processing, well beyond present spintronics applications, can now be foreseen.
We investigated a suspended bilayer graphene where the bottom (top) layer is doped by boron (nitrogen) substitutional atoms by using Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. We found that at high dopant concentration (one B-N pair every 32 C atoms) the electronic structure of the bilayer does not depend on the B-N distance but on the relative occupation of the bilayer graphene sub-lattices by B and N. We found that a large built in electric field is established between layers, giving rise to an energy gap. We further investigated the transport properties and found that intra-layer electron current is weakly influenced by the presence of these dopants while the inter-layer current is significantly enhanced for biases allowing the energy alignment of N and B states. This effect leads to current rectification in asymmetric junctions.
We utilize an organic polymer buffer layer between graphene and conventional gate dielectrics in top-gated graphene transistors. Unlike other insulators, this dielectric stack does not significantly degrade carrier mobility, allowing for high field-effect mobilities to be retained in top-gate operation. This is demonstrated in both two-point and four-point analysis, and in the high-frequency operation of a graphene transistor. Temperature dependence of the carrier mobility suggests that phonons are the dominant scatterers in these devices.
Devices made from graphene encapsulated in hexagonal boron-nitride exhibit pronounced negative bend resistance and an anomalous Hall effect, which are a direct consequence of room-temperature ballistic transport on a micrometer scale for a wide range of carrier concentrations. The encapsulation makes graphene practically insusceptible to the ambient atmosphere and, simultaneously, allows the use of boron nitride as an ultrathin top gate dielectric.
