Graphene on ferroelectric structures can be promising candidates for advanced field effect transistors, modulators and electrical transducers, providing that research of their electrotransport and electromechanical performances can be lifted up from mostly empirical to prognostic theoretical level.Recently we have shown that alternating piezoelectric displacement of the ferroelectric domain surfaces can lead to the alternate stretching and separation of graphene areas at the steps between elongated and contracted domains, and the conductance of graphene channel can be increased essentially at room temperature, because electrons in the stretched section scatter on acoustic phonons.The piezoelectric mechanism of graphene conductance control requires systematic studies of the ambient condition impact on its manifestations. This theoretical work studies in details the temperature behavior of the graphene conductance changes induced by piezoelectric effect in a ferroelectric substrate with domain stripes.We revealed the possibility to control graphene conductance (that can change up to 100 times for PZT ferroelectric substrate) by tuning the ambient temperature from low values to the critical one for given gate voltage and channel length.Also we demonstrate the possibility to control graphene conductance changes up to one hundred of times by tuning the gate voltage from 0 to the critical value at a given temperature and channel length. Obtained results can be open the way towards graphene on ferroelectric applications in piezoresistive memories operating in a wide temperature range.

In-plane optical anisotropy has been detected from monolayer MoS$_2$ grown on a-plane (11-20) sapphire substrate in the ultraviolet-visible wavelength range. Based on the measured optical anisotropy, the energy differences between the optical transitions polarized along the ordinary and extraordinary directions of the underlying sapphire substrate have been determined. The results corroborate comprehensively with the dielectric environment induced modification on the electronic band structure and exciton binding energy of monolayer MoS$_2$ predicted recently by first principle calculations. The output of this study proposes the symmetry as a new degree of freedom for dielectric engineering of the two-dimensional materials.
Structural and superconducting properties of high quality Niobium nanofilms with different thicknesses are investigated on silicon oxide and sapphire substrates. The role played by the different substrates and the superconducting properties of the Nb films are discussed based on the defectivity of the films and on the presence of an interfacial oxide layer between the Nb film and the substrate. The X-ray absorption spectroscopy is employed to uncover the structure of the interfacial layer. We show that this interfacial layer leads to a strong proximity effect, specially in films deposited on a SiO$_2$ substrate, altering the superconducting properties of the Nb films. Our results establish that the critical temperature is determined by an interplay between quantum-size effects, due to the reduction of the Nb film thicknesses, and proximity effects.
Here we investigate the temperature dependence of anomalous Hall effect in Hf/GdFeCo/MgO sheet film and Hall bar device. The magnetic compensation temperature ($T_{comp}$) for the sheet film and device is found to be ~240 K and ~118 K, respectively. In sheet film, spin-flopping is witnessed at a considerably lower field, 0.6 T, close to $T_{comp}$. The AHE hysteresis loops in the sheet film have a single loop whereas in the Hall bar device, hystereses consist of triple loops are observed just above the Tcomp. Moreover, the temperature-dependent anomalous Hall resistance ($R_mathrm{AHE}$) responds unusually when a perpendicular magnetic field is applied while recording the $R_mathrm{AHE}$. The zero-field $R_mathrm{AHE}$ scan suggests the Hall signal generates solely from the FeCo moment. However, the behavior of 3 T-field $R_mathrm{AHE}$ scan in which the $R_mathrm{AHE}$ drops close to zero near the $T_{comp}$ seems to be following the net magnetization response of the device, is explained by considering the low field spin-flopping around the compensation temperature. The results presented here give important insight to understand the complex AHE behavior of ferrimagnets for their spintronic applications.
Ferroelectric field-effect transistors employ a ferroelectric material as a gate insulator, the polarization state of which can be detected using the channel conductance of the device. As a result, the devices are of potential to use in non-volatile memory technology, but suffer from short retention times, which limits their wider application. Here we report a ferroelectric semiconductor field-effect transistor in which a two-dimensional ferroelectric semiconductor, indium selenide ({alpha}-In2Se3), is used as the channel material in the device. {alpha}-In2Se3 was chosen due to its appropriate bandgap, room temperature ferroelectricity, ability to maintain ferroelectricity down to a few atomic layers, and potential for large-area growth. A passivation method based on the atomic-layer deposition of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) was developed to protect and enhance the performance of the transistors. With 15-nm-thick hafnium oxide (HfO2) as a scaled gate dielectric, the resulting devices offer high performance with a large memory window, a high on/off ratio of over 108, a maximum on-current of 862 {mu}A {mu}m-1, and a low supply voltage.
We report on experimental studies of terahertz (THz) radiation transmission through grating-gate graphene-channel transistor nanostructures and demonstrate room temperature THz radiation amplification stimulated by current-driven plasmon excitations. Specifically, with increase of the direct current (dc) under periodic charge density modulation, we observe a strong red shift of the resonant THz plasmon absorption, its complete bleaching, followed by the amplification and blue shift of the resonant plasmon frequency. Our results are, to the best of our knowledge, the first experimental observation of energy transfer from dc current to plasmons leading to THz amplification. We present a simple model allowing for the phenomenological description of the observed amplification phenomena. This model shows that in the presence of dc current the radiation-induced correction to dissipation is sensitive to the phase shift between THz oscillations of carrier density and drift velocity, and with increase of the current becomes negative, leading to amplification. The experimental results of this work as all obtained at room temperature, pave the way towards the new 2D plasmons based, voltage tuneable THz radiation amplifiers.
