Study Findings Shed Light on Graphene-Metal Junctions

Graphene is a one-atom-thick carbon material that demonstrates exotic properties suitable for the development of advanced electronic devices. However, to develop these graphene-based electronic devices, it is necessary to create junctions that link the nanomaterial to the ‘external world’ via at least two metal wires.

Study Provides New Insights into Graphene Growth

Researchers at Rice University have observed the formation of graphene in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique at the atomic level. The study findings have been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal. Co-author, Boris Yakobson informed that electric current traverses through a pure graphene sheet with virtually no resistance, a quality that makes the nanomaterial a material of choice for electronic applications such as touchscreens.

MIT Researchers Produce Electronic Components from Graphene-Like Molybdenum Disulfide

The discovery of graphene, a material just one atom thick and
possessing exceptional strength and other novel properties, started an
avalanche of research around its use for everything from electronics to
optics to structural materials. But new research suggests that was just
the beginning: A whole family of two-dimensional materials may open up
even broader possibilities for applications that could change many
aspects of modern life.
