Reproducible current hysteresis is observed in graphene with a back gate structure in a two-terminal configuration. By applying a back gate bias to tune the Fermi level, an opposite sequence of switching with the different charge carriers, holes and electrons, is found. The charging and discharging effect is proposed to explain this ambipolar bistable hysteretic switching. To confirm this hypothesis, one-level transport model simulations including charging effect are performed and the results are consistent with our experimental data. Methods of improving the ON/OFF ratio of graphene resistive switching are suggested.

Quantum wells constitute one of the most important classes of devices in the study of 2D systems. In a double layer QW, the additional which-layer degree of freedom gives rise to celebrated phenomena such as Coulomb drag, Hall drag and exciton conden sation. Here we demonstrate facile formation of wide QWs in few-layer black phosphorus devices that host double layers of charge carriers. In contrast to tradition QWs, each 2D layer is ambipolar, and can be tuned into n-doped, p-doped or intrinsic regimes. Fully spin-polarized quantum Hall states are observed on each layer, with enhanced Lande g-factor that is attributed to exchange interactions. Our work opens the door for using 2D semiconductors as ambipolar single, double or wide QWs with unusual properties such as high anisotropy.
Graphene-Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanocomposite films with thickness $120 mu m$ were synthesized by solidification of PVA in a solution with dispersed graphene nanosheets. Electrical conductivity data were explained as arising due to hopping of carrie rs between localized states formed at the graphene-PVA interface. Dielectric permittivity data as a function of frequency indicated the occurrence of Debye-type relaxation mechanism. The nanocomposites showed a magnetodielectric effect with the dielectric constant changing by 1.8% as the magnetic field was increased to 1 Tesla. The effect was explained as arising due to Maxwell-Wagner polarization as applied to an inhomogeneous two-dimensional,two-component composite model. This type of nanocomposite may be suitable for applications involving nanogenerators.
Resistance switching effects in metal/perovskite contacts based on epitaxial c-axis oriented Y-Ba-Cu-O (YBCO) thin films with different crystallographic orientations have been studied. Three types of Ag/YBCO junctions with the contact restricted to ( i) c-axis direction, (ii) ab-plane direction, and (iii) both were designed and fabricated, and their current-voltage characteristics have been measured. The type (i) junctions exhibited conventional bipolar resistance switching behavior, whereas in other two types the low-resistance state was unsteady and their resistance quickly relaxed to the initial high-resistance state. Physical mechanism based on the oxygen diffusion scenario, explaining such behavior, is discussed.
We report experiment and theory on an ambipolar gate-controlled Si-vacuum field effect transistor (FET) where we study electron and hole (low-temperature 2D) transport in the same device simply by changing the external gate voltage to tune the system from being a 2D electron system at positive gate voltage to a 2D hole system at negative gate voltage. The electron (hole) conductivity manifests strong (moderate) metallic temperature dependence with the conductivity decreasing by a factor of 8 (2) between 0.3 K and 4.2 K with the peak electron mobility ($sim 18$ m$^2$/Vs) being roughly 20 times larger than the peak hole mobility (in the same sample). Our theory explains the data well using RPA screening of background Coulomb disorder, establishing that the observed metallicity is a direct consequence of the strong temperature dependence of the effective screened disorder.
We study the effects of low-energy electron beam irradiation up to 10 keV on graphene based field effect transistors. We fabricate metallic bilayer electrodes to contact mono- and bi-layer graphene flakes on SiO$_2$, obtaining specific contact resist ivity $rho_c simeq 19 kOmega mu m^2$ and carrier mobility as high as 4000 cm$^2$V$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$. By using a highly doped p-Si/SiO$_2$ substrate as back gate, we analyze the transport properties of the device and the dependence on the pressure and on the electron bombardment. We demonstrate that low energy irradiation is detrimental on the transistor current capability, resulting in an increase of the contact resistance and a reduction of the carrier mobility even at electron doses as low as 30 $e^-/nm^2$. We also show that the irradiated devices recover by returning to their pristine state after few repeated electrical measurements.
