The introduction of two dimensional (2D) materials in electronic device applications has provided a platform for several new device concepts and architectures. Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is the only insulator in the ...

Graphene is a two-dimensional semimetal that has linear dispersion in energy-momentum space. When graphene is subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field, the dispersion is no longer linear, resulting in discrete energy ...

With Silicon transistor technology reaching its practical limits, e orts to replace Si with new materials with better electronic transport properties have gained considerable at- tention. Single-walled carbon nanotubes ...

The advent of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and atomically thin membranes such as Graphene and layered transition metal chalcogenides (TMDs) have spurred research in the area of Nanoelectromechanical Systems (NEMS) due to their ...

The main objective of the thesis is to introduce porous structure into graphene/graphene oxide materials and study their effects on various physics/chemistry related applications. Introduction of porosity may be achieved ...

Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) have found extensive applications in micromechanical sensing. The scaling of MEMS into nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS) was spurred primarily by the expectation of higher ...

The prospects of using Graphene and MWCNT as a channel material for RF transistors and interconnects, respectively, have recently garnered much attention. E orts are being made for improvements at the material and device ...
