Abstract:

The development of solid-state electronics follows the famous Moore's Law. However, a continuation of Moore's Law demands new materials and even a new paradigm. Graphene, though discovered recently, has been envisioned as a material for next generation electronics owing to its extraordinary properties. Although large portion of studies have been focused on exfoliated graphene, epitaxially grown graphene is seen as "the only viable route towards electronic applications". In this talk, I will discuss the phase coherence phenomena in epitaxial graphene, where we found the evidence for the chiral nature of band electrons. Then, I will show our recent work on making an epitaxial-graphene/graphene-oxide junction and its electrical properties. I will discuss why making such devices is an essential step towards epitaxial graphene electronics.
