Fe-catalyzed etching of exfoliated graphite through carbon hydrogenation

January 8, 2016
Author(s)
Guangjun Cheng, Christina A. Hacker, Curt A. Richter, Angela R. Hight Walker
We present an investigation on the etching of graphite catalyzed by the particles produced by dewetting Fe thin films on graphite in forming gas. Raman mapping of the etched graphite shows the thickness variation in the etched channels and reveals that the

Self-Assembled Monolayers Impact Cobalt Interfacial Structure in Nanoelectronic Junctions

Sujitra J. Pookpanratana, Leigh Lydecker, Curt A. Richter, Christina A. Hacker
The formation of molecular monolayers on template-stripped cobalt surfaces is reported. The quality of the alkane-based molecular structure was confirmed through spectroscopic measurements. We find that the self-assembly of bifunctional molecules has

Attachment of a Reduction-Oxidative Active Diruthenium Compound to Au and Si Surfaces by Click Chemistry

Sujitra J. Pookpanratana, Joseph W. Robertson, Curt A. Richter, Christina A. Hacker, Lee J. Richter, Julia Savchenko, Steven Cummings, Tong Ren
We report the formation of molecular monolayers containing redox-active diruthenium(II,III) compound to gold and silicon surfaces via “click” chemistry. The use of Cu-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition enables modular design of molecular surfaces and

Interface Engineering to Control Magnetic Field Effects of Organic-Based Devices by Using a Molecular Self-Assembled Monolayer

Hyuk-Jae Jang, Sujitra J. Pookpanratana, Alyssa N. Brigeman, Regis J. Kline, James I. Basham, David J. Gundlach, Christina A. Hacker, Oleg A. Kirillov, Oana Jurchescu, Curt A. Richter
Organic semiconductors hold immense promise for the development of a wide range of innovative devices with their excellent electronic and manufacturing characteristics. Of particular interest are non-magnetic organic semiconductors that show unusual

Highly reproducible and reliable metal/graphene contact by UV-Ozone treatment

March 17, 2014

Wei Li, Christina A. Hacker, Guangjun Cheng, Angela R. Hight Walker, Curt A. Richter, David J. Gundlach, Yiran Liang, boyuan Tian, Xuelei Liang, Lianmao Peng
Resist residue from the device fabrication process is a significant source of contamination at the metal/graphene contact interface. Ultraviolet Ozone (UVO) treatment is proven here, by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman measurement, to be an

ELECTRICAL AND PHYSICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF BILAYER CARBOXYLIC ACID FUNCTIONALIZED MOLECULAR LAYERS

January 30, 2013
Author(s)
Sujitra J. Pookpanratana, Joseph W. Robertson, Cherno Jaye, Daniel A. Fischer, Curt A. Richter, Christina A. Hacker
We have used Flip Chip Lamination (FCL) to form monolayer and bilayer molecular junctions of carboxylic acid-containing molecules with Cu atom incorporation. Carboxylic acid-terminated monolayers are self-assembled onto ultrasmooth Au using thiol chemistry

Towards clean and crackless transfer of graphene

January 2, 2012
Author(s)
Xuelei X. Liang, Brent A. Sperling, Irene G. Calizo, Guangjun Cheng, Christina Hacker, Qin Zhang, Yaw S. Obeng, Kai Yan, Hailin Peng, Qiliang Li, Xiaoxiao Zhu, Hui Yuan, Angela R. Hight Walker, Zhongfan Liu, Lianmao Peng, Curt A. Richter
We present the results of a thorough study of wet chemical methods for transferring chemical vapor deposition grown graphene from the metal growth substrate to a device compatible substrate. Based on these results, we have developed a "modified RCA clean"
