Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By using focused Helium ion beam milling, a new nanofabrication technology was built to pattern graphene phononic crystal (GPnC) with nanopores of 3 - 6 nm in diameter and pitch less than 25 nm on a suspended graphene channel. An asymmetric phoninc device was fabricated by patterning GPnC into only a half of a 500-nm-long and 1200-nm-wide graphene channel. A new Differential Thermal Leakage method was developed to measure thermal transport properties at nanoscale and applied to evaluate the fabricated asymmetric GPnC devices. Thermal rectifying phenomena were observed with a higher thermal conductance when a heater was placed on the GPnC side, resulting in a thermal rectification ratio of over 60 % at 250 K.
