AI Article Synopsis

  • The study focuses on magnetotransport in high-quality graphene devices made up of monolayer graphene sandwiched between hexagonal boron nitride layers (hBN/Gr/hBN).
  • At temperatures above approximately 40 K, the device shows negative magnetoconductance near the Dirac point, whereas it shifts to positive magnetoconductance at lower temperatures, indicating quantum interference effects.
  • This unique behavior and the elastic scattering mechanism observed in the hBN/Gr/hBN structure differ significantly from that of traditional graphene on silicon dioxide (SiO), with the graphene device maintaining nonzero magnetoconductance at elevated temperatures up to 300 K.

Article Abstract

We report on magnetotransport in a high-quality graphene device, which is based on monolayer graphene (Gr) encapsulated by hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) layers, i.e., hBN/Gr/hBN stacks. In the vicinity of the Dirac point, a negative magnetoconductance is observed for high temperatures >  ~ 40 K, whereas it becomes positive for low temperatures ≤  ~ 40 K, which implies an interplay of quantum interferences in Dirac materials. The elastic scattering mechanism in hBN/Gr/hBN stacks contrasts with that of conventional graphene on SiO, and our ultra-clean graphene device shows nonzero magnetoconductance for high temperatures of up to 300 K.

The increasing reliance on electronic devices has created a pressing demand for high-performance and sustainable electromagnetic interference shielding materials. While conventional materials, such as metals and carbon-based composites, offer excellent shielding capabilities, they are hindered by high costs, environmental concerns, and limitations in scalability. Polysaccharide-based materials, including cellulose, chitosan, and alginate, represent a promising alternative due to their biodegradability, renewability, and versatility.

Laser reduction of graphene oxide (GO) is a promising approach for achieving flexible, robust, and electrically conductive graphene/polymer composites. Resulting composite materials show significant technological potential for energy storage, sensing, and bioelectronics. However, in the case of insulating polymers, the properties of electrodes show severely limited performance.

Low-power gas sensors that can be used in IoT (Internet of Things) systems, consumer devices, and point-of-care devices will enable new applications in environmental monitoring and health protection. We fabricated a monolithic chemiresistive gas sensor by integrating a micro-lightplate with a 2D sensing material composed of single-layer graphene and monolayer-thick TiO. Applying ultraviolet (380 nm) light with quantum energy above the TiO bandgap effectively enhanced the sensor responses.

Elevated dopamine (DA) levels in urine denote neuroblastoma, a pediatric cancer. Saccharide-derived carbon dots (CDs) were applied to assay DA detection in simulated urine (SU) while delineating the effects of graphene defect density on electrocatalytic activity. CDs were hydrothermally synthesized to vary graphene defect densities using sucrose, raffinose, and palatinose, depositing them onto glassy carbon electrodes (GCEs).
