| Research Abstract |
This research aimed to investigate the electrical conduction of single-molecules passing a nanopore by developing in-plane graphene nanopore devices of which extremely thin electrodes are formed by graphene, single-atomic layer of graphite. The conduction mechanism of molecules can be evaluated through the electrical modulation of the Fermi level of the graphene electrodes. By the theoretical calculations of the electronic structure of graphene, the promising structural design of graphene for in-plane graphene nanopore devices was found and the device fabrication was demonstrated on the basis of the obtained guideline for the graphene structure.
