Abstract

1D graphene nanoribbons have tunable electronic bandgaps, thereby enabling graphene electronic/optoelectronic applications. We have demonstrated both bottom-up and top-down methods for fabricating graphene nanoribbons. First, we present surface-assisted bottom-up fabrication of atomically precise armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) with predefined widths, namely 7-, 14- and 21-AGNRs, on Ag (111) as well as their spatially resolved width-dependent electronic structures.[1] Second, we demonstrate the top-down fabrication of an intramolecular junction by the controllable unzipping of single-walled carbon nanotubes, combining a graphene nanoribbon and single-walled carbon nanotube in a 1D nanostructure.[2] This junction shows strong gate-dependent rectifying behavior, and we demonstrate the use of the junction in prototype directionally dependent field-effect transistors, logic gates and high performance photodetectors.

2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs, e.g. MX2, M = Mo, W; X = S, Se, Te) are promising alternatives to graphene, as they can have a direct bandgap enabling electronic and optical applications. We use high resolution STM/STS to study the atomic structure and intrinsic electronic properties of MoS2 layers (mono-, bi-, tri-) directly deposited on HOPG substrates by CVD.[3] We also investigate highly crystalline and large-area tungsten diselenide (WSe2) monolayers on sapphire grown by CVD.[4] The monolayer films display strong photoluminescence, opening up potential applications in optoelectronics. We fabricate monolayer WSe2 transistors with ON/OFF current ratio of up to 109, and mobility larger than 7.3cm2/Vs.
