It was found that the position of the 100 diffraction peak does not change with applied potential while the peak intensity decreases with anion adsorption. It was concluded that the space inside the tube would be the important ion adsorption site for the well-gown SWCNT bundles.展开更多

Ultrathin yttrium oxide showed excellent per-formance as the dielectric layer in top-gate device geometry. The structure and dielectric constant of the yttrium oxide layers have been carefully studied. The inverse compressibility retrieved from the quantum capacitance agreed fairly well with the theoretical predictions for the e--e interactions in monolayer graphene at different temperatures. We found that electron-hole puddles played a significant role in the low-density carrier region in graphene. By considering the temperature-dependent charge fluctuation, we established a model to explain the round-off effect originating from the e-e interactions in monolayer graphene near the Dirac point.展开更多
