Top-gated graphene transistors operating at high frequencies (GHz) have been fabricated and their characteristics analyzed. The measured intrinsic current gain shows an ideal 1/f frequency dependence, indicating an FET-like behavior for graphene transistors. The cutoff frequency fT is found to be proportional to the dc transconductance gm of the device. The peak fT increases with a reduced gate length, and fT as high as 26 GHz is measured for a graphene transistor with a gate length of 150 nm. The work represents a significant step towards the realization of graphene-based electronics for high-frequency applications.

We measure graphene coplanar waveguides from direct current (DC) to 13.5GHz and show that the apparent resistance (in the presence of parasitic impedances) has an quadratic frequency dependence, but the intrinsic conductivity (without the influence o f parasitic impedances) is frequency-independent. Consequently, in our devices the real part of the complex alternating current conductivity is the same as the DC value and the imaginary part~0. The graphene channel is modelled as a parallel resistive-capacitive network with a frequency dependence identical to that of the Drude conductivity with momentum relaxation time~2.1ps, highlighting the influence of alternating current (AC) electron transport on the electromagnetic properties of graphene. This can lead to optimized design of high-speed analogue field-effect transistors, mixers, frequency doublers, low-noise amplifiers and radiation detectors.
This paper presents observation of mechanical effects of a graphene monolayer deposited on a quartz substrate designed to operate as an extremely low-loss acoustic cavity standard at liquid-helium temperature. Resonances of this state-of-the-art cavi ty are used to probe the mechanical loss of the graphene film, assessed to be about $80 : 10^{-4}$ at 4K. Significant frequency shifts of positive and negative sign have been observed for many overtones of three modes of vibration. These shifts cannot be predicted by the mass-loading model widely used in the Quartz Microbalance community. Although thermo-mechanical stresses are expected in such a graphene-on-quartz composite device at low temperature due to a mismatch of expansion coefficients of both materials, it cannot fully recover the mismatch of the mass loading effect. Based on a force-frequency theory applied to the three thickness modes, to reconcile the experimental results, the mean stresses in the graphene monolayer should be of the order of 140 GPa, likely close to its tensile strength.
High-performance graphene field-effect transistors have been fabricated on epitaxial graphene synthesized on a two-inch SiC wafer, achieving a cutoff frequency of 100 GHz for a gate length of 240 nm. The high-frequency performance of these epitaxial graphene transistors not only shows the highest speed for any graphene devices up to date, but it also exceeds that of Si MOSFETs at the same gate length. The result confirms the high potential of graphene for advanced electronics applications, marking an important milestone for carbon electronics.
We have fabricated UV-sensitive photodetectors based on colloidal CdS nanocrystals and graphene. The nanocrystals act as a sensitizer layer that improves light harvesting leading to high responsivity of the detector. Despite the slow relaxation of th e photogenerated charges in the nanocrystal film, faster processes allowed to detect pulses up to a repetition rate of 2 kHz. We have performed time-resolved analysis of the processes occurring in our hybrid system, and discuss possible photo-induced charge transfer mechanisms.

This is a brief overview of the main physical ideas for application of field effect transistors for generation and detection of TeraHertz radiation. Resonant frequencies of the two-dimensional plasma oscillations in FETs increase with the reduction o f the channel dimensions and reach the THz range for sub-micron gate lengths. When the mobility is high enough, the dynamics of a short channel FET at THz frequencies is dominated by plasma waves. This may result, on the one hand, in a spontaneous generation of plasma waves by a dc current and on the other hand, in a resonant response to the incoming radiation. In the opposite case, when plasma oscillations are overdamped, the FET can operate as an efficient broadband THz detector.
