Transcript What is graphene?

What is graphene?
In late 2004, graphene was discovered by Andre Geim and
Kostya Novoselov (Univ. of Manchester).
- 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics
Q1. How thick is it?
 a million times thinner than paper
(The interlayer spacing : 0.33~0.36 nm)
Q2. How strong is it?
 stronger than diamond
(Maximum Young's modulus : ~1.3 TPa)
Q3. How conductive is it?
 better than copper
(The resistivity : 10−6 Ω·cm)
(Mobility: 200,000 cm2 V-1 s-1)
But, weak bonding between layers
Seperated by mechanical exfoliation of 3D graphite crystals.

Electrical properties of graphene
High electron mobility at room temperature: Electronic device.
Si Transistor, HEMT devices are using 2D electron or hole.
μ (mobility) = vavg / E
(velocity/electric field)
Jdrift ~ ρ x vavg
