Preparing graphene and its derivatives on functional substrates may open enormous opportunities for exploring the intrinsic electronic properties and new functionalities of graphene. However, efforts in replacing SiO$_{2}$ have been greatly hampered by a very low sample yield of the exfoliation and related transferring methods. Here, we report a new route in exploring new graphene physics and functionalities by transferring large-scale chemical vapor deposition single-layer and bilayer graphene to functional substrates. Using ferroelectric Pb(Zr$_{0.3}$Ti$_{0.7}$)O$_{3}$ (PZT), we demonstrate ultra-low voltage operation of graphene field effect transistors within $pm1$ V with maximum doping exceeding $10^{13},mathrm{cm^{-2}}$ and on-off ratios larger than 10 times. After polarizing PZT, switching of graphene field effect transistors are characterized by pronounced resistance hysteresis, suitable for ultra-fast non-volatile electronics.

Graphene field-effect transistors are integrated with solution-processed multilayer hybrid organic-inorganic self-assembled nanodielectrics (SANDs). The resulting devices exhibit low-operating voltage (2 V), negligible hysteresis, current saturation with intrinsic gain > 1.0 in vacuum (pressure < 2 x 10-5 Torr), and overall improved performance compared to control devices on conventional SiO2 gate dielectrics. Statistical analysis of the field-effect mobility and residual carrier concentration demonstrate high spatial uniformity of the dielectric interfacial properties and graphene transistor characteristics over full 3 inch wafers. This work thus establishes SANDs as an effective platform for large-area, high-performance graphene electronics.
We report on spectroscopy results from the mid- to far-infrared on wafer-scale graphene, grown either epitaxially on silicon carbide, or by chemical vapor deposition. The free carrier absorption (Drude peak) is simultaneously obtained with the univer sal optical conductivity (due to interband transitions), and the wavelength at which Pauli blocking occurs due to band filling. From these the graphene layer number, doping level, sheet resistivity, carrier mobility, and scattering rate can be inferred. The mid-IR absorption of epitaxial two-layer graphene shows a less pronounced peak at 0.37pm0.02 eV compared to that in exfoliated bilayer graphene. In heavily chemically-doped single layer graphene, a record high transmission reduction due to free carriers approaching 40% at 250 mum (40 cm-1) is measured in this atomically thin material, supporting the great potential of graphene in far-infrared and terahertz optoelectronics.
Graphene and related materials can lead to disruptive advances in next generation photonics and optoelectronics. The challenge is to devise growth, transfer and fabrication protocols providing high (>5,000 cm2 V-1 s-1) mobility devices with reliable performance at the wafer scale. Here, we present a flow for the integration of graphene in photonics circuits. This relies on chemical vapour deposition (CVD) of single layer graphene (SLG) matrices comprising up to ~12000 individual single crystals (SCs), grown to match the geometrical configuration of the devices in the photonic circuit. This is followed by a transfer approach which guarantees coverage over ~80% of the device area, and integrity for up to 150 mm wafers, with room temperature mobility ~5000 cm2 V-1 s-1. We use this process flow to demonstrate double SLG electro-absorption modulators with modulation efficiency ~0.25, 0.45, 0.75, 1 dB V-1 for device lengths ~30, 60, 90, 120 {mu}m. The data rate is up to 20 Gbps. Encapsulation with single-layer hBN is used to protected SLG during plasma-enhanced CVD of Si3N4, ensuring reproducible device performance. Our full process flow (from growth to device fabrication) enables the commercial implementation of graphene-based photonic devices.
Graphene has exceptional optical, mechanical and electrical properties, making it an emerging material for novel optoelectronics, photonics and for flexible transparent electrode applications. However, the relatively high sheet resistance of graphene is a major constrain for many of these applications. Here we propose a new approach to achieve low sheet resistance in large-scale CVD monolayer graphene using non-volatile ferroelectric polymer gating. In this hybrid structure, large-scale graphene is heavily doped up to 3{times}1013 cm-2 by non-volatile ferroelectric dipoles, yielding a low sheet resistance of 120 {Omega}{Box} at ambient conditions. The graphene-ferroelectric transparent conductors (GFeTCs) exhibit more than 95% transmittance from the visible to the near infrared range owing to the highly transparent nature of the ferroelectric polymer. Together with its excellent mechanical flexibility, chemical inertness and the simple fabrication process of ferroelectric polymers, the proposed GFeTCs represent a new route towards large-scale graphene based transparent electrodes and optoelectronics.
We have investigated the electronic properties of a C_60 molecule in between carbon nanotube leads. This problem has been tackled within a quantum chemical treatment utilizing a density functional theory-based LCAO approach combined with the Landauer formalism. Owing to low-dimensionality, electron transport is very sensitive to the strength and geometry of interfacial bonds. Molecular contact between interfacial atoms and electrodes gives rise to a complex conductance dependence on the electron energy exhibiting spectral features of both the molecule and electrodes. These are attributed to the electronic structure of the C_60 molecule and to the local density of states of the leads, respectively.
