Abstract
Due to its unique electronic properties, graphene has already been identified as a promising material for future carbon based electronics. To develop graphene technology, the fabrication of a high quality PβN junction is a great challenge. Here, we describe a general technique to grow single crystalline polyaniline (PANI) films on graphene sheets using in situ polymerization via the oxidationβreduction of aniline monomer and graphene oxide, respectively, to fabricate a high quality PβN junction, which shows diodeβlike behavior with a remarkably low turnβon voltage (60βmV) and high rectification ratio (1880:1) up to a voltage of 0.2βV. The origin of these superior electronic properties is the preferential growth of a highly crystalline PANI film as well as lattice matching between the __dβ__values [βΌ2.48 Γ ] of graphene and {120} planes of PANI. magnified image

We have demonstrated the first epitaxial growth of AlN films on single-crystalline Ta substrates by the use of a low-temperature growth technique based on pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Although previous AlN films grown on Ta( 100) and ( 111) substrates have exhibited quite poor crystallinity, an ep
Epitaxial zinc oxide thin films were grown on Si(1 1 1) using aluminum nitride and magnesium oxide/titanium nitride buffer layers. The resultant films were examined using transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, electrical conductivity, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The following e
An extended layer of defected SiC has been observed in SiC subjected to heat treatments at 850 and 1050 Β°C prior to growth of graphene by thermal decomposition. This layer is found to strongly affect the graphene thickness, surface morphology, and Raman spectrum of graphene grown on it. By comparing
