Fundamental Studies Of Supported Graphene Interfaces : Defect Density Of States In Graphene Field Effect Transistors (Fets) And Ideal Graphene - Silicon Schottky Diodes, Dhiraj Sinha
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
The physics of transport in atomically thin 2D materials is an active area of research, important for understanding fundamental properties of reduced dimensional materials and for applications. New phenomena based on graphene may include properties of topologically protected insulators. Applications of these materials are envisioned in electronics, optoelectronics and spintronics.

A fundamental understanding of charge transport across metal/semiconductor interfaces is of great technological and scientific importance. Metal/semiconductor, or Schottky barrier devices are widely utilized in sensing applications and power electronics. Additionally, Schottky barriers appear in resistive memory technology and current transistor technology. Although Schottky interfaces are ubiquitous, the effects of spatially variant interfaces on the measured Schottky barrier height (SBH) are not entirely understood. For these reasons it is necessary to explore the spatial variation at Schottky interfaces at the nanoscale. Ballistic electron emission microscopy (BEEM) is a three terminal scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) technique used to measure hot carrier …
