六方氮化硼层间气泡制备与压强研究

六方氮化硼(h-BN)具有六角网状晶格结构和高化学机械稳定性,可以用来封装气体并长期保持稳定,适合用作新型信息器件及微纳机电器件的衬底材料,具有巨大的应用前景.近期,科研人员发现氢原子可以无损穿透多层h-BN,在层间形成气泡,可用作微纳机电器件.本文研究了氢等离子体处理时间对h-BN气泡尺寸的影响.发现随着处理时间的延长,气泡尺寸整体变大且分布密集程度会降低.原子力显微镜的测量发现所制备的h-BN气泡具有相似的形貌特征,该特征与h-BN的杨氏模量和层间范德瓦耳斯作用相关.此外,发现微米尺寸气泡的内部压强约为1—2 MPa,纳米尺寸气泡的内部压强可达到GPa量级.     

六方氮化硼表面石墨烯纳米带生长与物性研究

石墨烯作为二维原子晶体家族的典型代表,由于其优异的物理与化学特性而受到学术界与工业界的广泛关注.石墨烯纳米带是宽度仅有几纳米到几十纳米的石墨烯.纳米带不但继承了石墨烯大部分优异的性能,而且具备可调控带隙、自旋极化边界态等石墨烯所不具有的新奇物理特性.这些特性使石墨烯纳米带成为未来探索石墨烯电子学应用所需要重点研究的对象.利用与石墨烯晶格结构相似的六方氮化硼(h-BN)作为绝缘介质衬底进行石墨烯及石墨烯纳米带制备,不仅可以有效地保持它们优异的本征性质,还可以开发出与主流半导体工艺相兼容的电子器件工艺与应用.本文回顾了近几年h-BN表面石墨烯及石墨烯纳米带研究的发展历程,详细阐述了最近的材料制备和物性研究的进展,并对高质量h-BN衬底制备的最新进展进行介绍,以期为未来实现高质量h-BN表面石墨烯纳米带的规模化制备并最终实现电子器件应用奠定基础.最后本文对h-BN表面石墨烯及石墨烯纳米带的未来研究方向进行了展望.     

Electro-statically controllable graphene local heater

We report on current-induced thermal power investigation of graphene nanostructure for potential local-heating applications. It is found that the efficiency of heating can be greatly improved if graphene is patterned into structures with narrow width and long channel. In a narrow graphene-ribbon, the Joule heating power exhibits an obvious dependence on the back-gate voltage. By monitoring Raman spectra, the temperature of graphene-ribbon can be determined. The temperature of graphene-ribbon is modulated by the electric field effect when the sample is sourced with a relatively high current.
