Surface Modulation of Graphene Field Effect Transistors on Periodic Trench Structure.

In this work, graphene field effect transistors (FETs) were fabricated on a trench structure made by carbonized poly(methylmethacrylate) to modify the graphene surface. The trench-structured devices showed different characteristics depending on the channel orientation and the pitch size of the trenches as well as channel area in the FETs. Periodic corrugations and barriers of suspended graphene on the trench structure were measured by atomic force microscopy and electrostatic force microscopy.

Fibers of reduced graphene oxide nanoribbons.

Reduced graphene oxide nanoribbon fibers were fabricated by using an electrophoretic self-assembly method without the use of any polymer or surfactant. We report electrical and field emission properties of the fibers as a function of reduction degree. In particular, the thermally annealed fiber showed superior field emission performance with a low potential for field emission (0.

Enhancement of heating performance of carbon nanotube sheet with granular metal.

A strategy for enhancing the heating performance of freestanding carbon nanotube (CNT) sheet is presented that involves decorating the sheet with granular-type palladium (Pd) particles. When Pd is added to the sheet, the heating efficiency of CNT sheet is increased by a factor of 3.6 (99.
