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 (0.7?V?μm(-1)) and a giant field emission current density (400?A?cm(-2)). Moreover, the fiber maintains a high current level of 300?A?cm(-2) corresponding to 1?mA during long-term operation. 相似文献

We report a facile approach to synthesize narrow and long graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) by sonochemically cutting chemically
derived graphene sheets (GSs). The yield of GNRs can reach ∼5 wt% of the starting GSs. The resulting GNRs are several micrometers
in length, with ∼75% being single-layer, and ∼40% being narrower than 20 nm in width. A chemical tailoring mechanism involving
oxygen-unzipping of GSs under sonochemical conditions is proposed on the basis of experimental observations and previously
reported theoretical calculations; it is suggested that the formation and distribution of line faults on graphite oxide and
GSs play crucial roles in the formation of GNRs. These results open up the possibilities of the large-scale synthesis and
various technological applications of GNRs.

An atomistic, spring-based, non-linear finite element method is implemented in order to predict the non-linear mechanical behavior of graphene nanoribbons. According this method, appropriate non-linear springs are utilized to simulate each interatomic interaction. Their force–displacement curve follows the relation between the first differentiation of the potential energy of the corresponding interaction-bond deformation. The potential which corresponds to the bond angle variation is simulated by a torsional spring, while the bond stretching is simulated by a uniaxial compression/extension spring. The linear approximation, commonly made in the literature for the bond angle bending interaction, is not followed here and thus the overall non-linear response of the specific interaction is accurately introduced into the model. Following the proposed formulation, the tensile uniaxial stress–strain behavior for various graphene nanoribbons, of zigzag as well as armchair orientation, arise. The results demonstrate that the linear and non-linear mechanical properties are strongly dependent on the structure as well as on the size of the graphene strip tested. 相似文献

The use of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) as infrared photodetectors is explored, based on recent results dealing with solar cells, light-emitting devices, photodetectors, and ultrafast lasers. IR detection is demonstrated by both RGO and GNRs in terms of the time-resolved photocurrent and photoresponse. The responsivity of the detectors and their functioning are presented. 相似文献

We present a comprehensive theoretical study of the electronic properties and relative stabilities of edge-oxidized zigzag graphene nanoribbons. The oxidation schemes considered include hydroxyl, lactone, ketone, and ether groups. Using screened exchange density functional theory, we show that these oxidized ribbons are more stable than hydrogen-terminated nanoribbons except for the case of the etheric groups. The stable oxidized configurations maintain a spin-polarized ground state with antiferromagnetic ordering localized at the edges, similar to the fully hydrogenated counterparts. More important, edge oxidation is found to lower the onset electric field required to induce half-metallic behavior and extend the overall field range at which the systems remain half-metallic. Once the half-metallic state is reached, further increase of the external electric field intensity produces a rapid decrease in the spin magnetization up to a point where the magnetization is quenched completely. Finally, we find that oxygen-containing edge groups have a minor effect on the energy difference between the antiferromagnetic ground state and the above-lying ferromagnetic state. 相似文献

AbstractGraphene is a one-atom-thick layer of graphite, where low-energy electronic states are described by the massless Dirac fermion. The orientation of the graphene edge determines the energy spectrum of π-electrons. For example, zigzag edges possess localized edge states with energies close to the Fermi level. In this review, we investigate nanoscale effects on the physical properties of graphene nanoribbons and clarify the role of edge boundaries. We also provide analytical solutions for electronic dispersion and the corresponding wavefunction in graphene nanoribbons with their detailed derivation using wave mechanics based on the tight-binding model. The energy band structures of armchair nanoribbons can be obtained by making the transverse wavenumber discrete, in accordance with the edge boundary condition, as in the case of carbon nanotubes. However, zigzag nanoribbons are not analogous to carbon nanotubes, because in zigzag nanoribbons the transverse wavenumber depends not only on the ribbon width but also on the longitudinal wavenumber. The quantization rule of electronic conductance as well as the magnetic instability of edge states due to the electron–electron interaction are briefly discussed. 相似文献

We present a systematic density functional theory study of the electronic properties, optical spectra, and relative thermodynamic stability of semiconducting graphene nanoribbons. We consider ribbons with different edge nature including bare and hydrogen-terminated ribbons, several crystallographic orientations, and widths up to 3 nm. Our results can be extrapolated to wider ribbons providing a qualitative way of determining the electronic properties of ribbons with widths of practical significance. We predict that in order to produce materials with band gaps similar to Ge or InN, the width of the ribbons must be between 2 and 3 nm. If larger bang gap ribbons are needed (like Si, InP, or GaAs), their width must be reduced to 1-2 nm. According to the extrapolated inverse power law obtained in this work, armchair carbon nanoribbons of widths larger than 8 nm will present a maximum band gap of 0.3 eV, while for ribbons with a width of 80 nm the maximum possible band gap is 0.05 eV. For chiral nanoribbons the band gap oscillations rapidly vanish as a function of the chiral angle indicating that a careful design of their crystallographic nature is an essential ingredient for controlling their electronic properties. Optical excitations show important differences between ribbons with and without hydrogen termination and are found to be sensitive to the carbon nanoribbon width. This should provide a practical way of revealing information on their size and the nature of their edges. 相似文献

A tight-binding analytic framework is combined with first-principles calculations to reveal the mechanism underlying the strain
effects on electronic structures of graphene and graphene nanoribbons (GNRs). It provides a unified and precise formulation
of the strain effects under various circumstances-including the shift of the Fermi (Dirac) points, the change in band gap
of armchair GNRs with uniaxial strain in a zigzag pattern and its insensitivity to shear strain, and the variation of the
k-range of edge states in zigzag GNRs under uniaxial and shear strains which determine the gap behavior via the spin polarization
interaction.

Capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics are important for understanding fundamental electronic structures and device applications of nanomaterials. The C-V characteristics of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are examined using self-consistent atomistic simulations. The results indicate strong dependence of the GNR C-V characteristics on the edge shape. For zigzag edge GNRs, highly nonuniform charge distribution in the transverse direction due to edge states lowers the gate capacitance considerably, and the self-consistent electrostatic potential significantly alters the band structure and carrier velocity. For an armchair edge GNR, the quantum capacitance is a factor of 2 smaller than its corresponding zigzag carbon nanotube, and a multiple gate geometry is less beneficial for transistor applications. Magnetic field results in pronounced oscillations on C-V characteristics. 相似文献

In spite of its excellent electronic properties, the use of graphene in field-effect transistors is not practical at room temperature without modification of its intrinsically semimetallic nature to introduce a bandgap. Quantum confinement effects can create a bandgap in graphene nanoribbons, but existing nanoribbon fabrication methods are slow and often produce disordered edges that compromise electronic properties. Here, we demonstrate the self-organized growth of graphene nanoribbons on a templated silicon carbide substrate prepared using scalable photolithography and microelectronics processing. Direct nanoribbon growth avoids the need for damaging post-processing. Raman spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and electrostatic force microscopy confirm that nanoribbons as narrow as 40 nm can be grown at specified positions on the substrate. Our prototype graphene devices exhibit quantum confinement at low temperatures (4 K), and an on-off ratio of 10 and carrier mobilities up to 2,700 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) at room temperature. We demonstrate the scalability of this approach by fabricating 10,000 top-gated graphene transistors on a 0.24-cm(2) SiC chip, which is the largest density of graphene devices reported to date. 相似文献

A new composite material was prepared by incorporation of graphene nanoribbons into a dielectric host matrix. The composite possesses remarkably low loss at reasonably high permittivity values. By varying the content of the conductive filler, one can tune the loss and permittivity to desirable values over a wide range. The obtained data exemplifies how nanoscopic changes in the structure of conductive filler can affect macroscopic properties of composite material. 相似文献

Band gap studies of zigzag-edge graphene ribbons are presented. While earlier calculations at LDA level show that zigzag-edge graphene ribbons become half-metallic when cross-ribbon electric fields are applied, our calculations with hybrid density functional demonstrate that finite graphene ribbons behave as half-semiconductors. The spin-dependent band gap can be changed in a wide range, making possible many applications in spintronics. 相似文献

We use density-functional theory and the nonequilibrium Green's function method as well as phonon dispersion calculations to study the thermal conductance of graphene nanoribbons with armchair and zigzag edges, with and without hydrogen passivation. We find that low-frequency phonon bands of the zigzag ribbons are more dispersive than those of the armchair ribbons and that this difference accounts for the anisotropy in the thermal conductance of graphene nanoribbons. Comparing our results with data on large-area graphene, edge effects are shown to contribute to thermal conductance, enhance the anisotropy in thermal conductance of graphene nanoribbons, and increase thermal conductance per unit width. The edges with and without hydrogen passivation modify the atomic structure and ultimately influence the phonon thermal transport differently for the two ribbon types. 相似文献
