石墨烯与金属间的相互作用是石墨烯器件研究中的关键问题之一,其涉及石墨烯器件的电学接触、锂离子电池石墨烯电极、石墨烯金属光学等方面.本文重点研究了不同层数的悬空石墨烯表面金纳米膜退火前后的形貌演化过程,观测到两个重要的现象:1)排除基底影响后的悬空石墨烯层数可以通过金纳米膜的形貌特征进行确认,但其随层数的变化趋势与有基底支撑的石墨烯正好相反;2)退火处理后的悬空石墨烯上的金纳米膜形貌演化过程具有类似水滴在荷叶上的行为.对悬空石墨烯表面金属纳米膜在退火前后的形貌变化规律及其现象背后的物理机理进行了详细的讨论和理论解释.     

Intrinsic charge transport behaviors in graphene-black phosphorus van der Waals heterojunction devices

Heterostructures from mechanically-assembled stacks of two-dimensional materials allow for versatile electronic device applications. Here, we demonstrate the intrinsic charge transport behaviors in graphene-black phosphorus heterojunction devices under different charge carrier densities and temperature regimes. At high carrier densities or in the ON state,tunneling through the Schottky barrier at the interface between graphene and black phosphorus dominates at low temperatures. With temperature increasing, the Schottky barrier at the interface is vanishing, and the channel current starts to decrease with increasing temperature, behaving like a metal. While at low carrier densities or in the OFF state, thermal emission over the Schottky barrier at the interface dominates the carriers transport process. A barrier height of ~67.3 meV can be extracted from the thermal emission-diffusion theory.     

Reversal current observed in micro-and submicro-channel flow under non-continuous DC electric field

In practical applications of biochips and bio-sensors, electrokinetic mechanisms are commonly employed to manipulate and analyze the characteristics of single bio-molecules. To accurately and flexibly control the movement of single molecule within micro-/submicro-fluidic channels, the characteristics of current signals at the initial stage of the flow are systematically studied based on a three-electrode system. The current response of micro-/submicro-fluidic channels filled with different electrolyte solutions in non-continuous external electric field are investigated. It is found, there always exists a current reversal phenomenon, which is an inherent property of the current signals in micro/submicro-fluidics Each solution has an individual critical voltage under which the steady current value is equal to zero The interaction between the steady current and external applied voltage follows an exponential function. All these results can be attributed to the overpotentials of the electric double layer on the electrodes. These results are helpful for the design and fabrication of functional micro/nano-scale fluidic sensors and biochips.     

Three-dimensional vertical ZnO transistors with suspended top electrodes fabricated by focused ion beam technology

Three-dimensional(3D)vertical architecture transistors represent an important technological pursuit,which have distinct advantages in device integration density,operation speed,and power consumption.However,the fabrication processes of such 3D devices are complex,especially in the interconnection of electrodes.In this paper,we present a novel method which combines suspended electrodes and focused ion beam(FIB)technology to greatly simplify the electrodes interconnection in 3D devices.Based on this method,we fabricate 3D vertical core-double shell structure transistors with ZnO channel and Al₂O₃ gate-oxide both grown by atomic layer deposition.Suspended top electrodes of vertical architecture could be directly connected to planar electrodes by FIB deposited Pt nanowires,which avoid cumbersome steps in the traditional 3D structure fabrication technology.Both single pillar and arrays devices show well behaved transfer characteristics with an Ion/Ioff current ratio greater than 106 and a low threshold voltage around 0 V.The ON-current of the 2×2 pillars vertical channel transistor was 1.2μA at the gate voltage of 3 V and drain voltage of 2 V,which can be also improved by increasing the number of pillars.Our method for fabricating vertical architecture transistors can be promising for device applications with high integration density and low power consumption.

Low Resistivity C54 Phase TiSi2 Films Synthesized by a Novel Two—Step Method

Synthesis and growth properties of the TiSi2 film on a Si (001) substrate are investigated. A novel two-step method is used for deposition of the C54 phase TiSi2 film with low resistivity. The first step is the formation ofthe C49 phase TiSi2 at a relative low substrate temperature of 400℃, followed by rapid thermal annealing processat 850℃ in N2 for the formation of the C54 phase TiSi2 as the second step. Finally, selective wet, etching isemployed to remove the un-reaction Ti on the surface and the low resistivity C54 TiSi2 film can be obtained. Thefilms deposited under various parameters are evaluated by scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction and the resistivity measurement. Compared with other sputtering technologies used commonly for TiSi2 synthesis,this two-step method has apparent advantages such as the mild synthesis temperature and the high purity of the final product with low resistivity, uniform large area and improving surface roughness. In addition, the film also shows that the low coefficient of resistivity-temperature appears in the temperature range from 20℃to 800℃.

Electrical conductivity of individual polypyrrole microtube

Conducting microtubes (0.4－0.5μm in outer diameter) made of polypyrrole (PPy) doped with p-toluene sulfonic acid (PTSA) were synthesized by a self-assembly method. We report the electrical conductivity of an individual PPy microtube, on which a pair of platinum micro-leads was fabricated by focused ion beam deposition. The measured room-temperature conductivity of the individual PPy microtube was 0.29S/cm, which is comparable to that of template-synthesized PPy micro/nanotubes. The temperature dependence of conductivity of the individual microtube follows the three-dimensional variable-range hopping (3D VRH) model.
