| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Graphene, two dimensional crystal of carbon atoms, has a special property that conduction electrons feel (pseudo) vector potentials in graphene under lattice strain. Theories tell that tailored strain produces a transport gap, so that the strain engineering is attractive for the realization of high-performance graphene transistors. In this research, we have developed several techniques which allow us to investigate electron transport in graphene field effect devices with tailored strain. We have confirmed formation of transport gaps in graphene with two types of strain configurations, (1) uniaxial local strain and (2) periodic uniaxial strain (strain superlattice), for the first time.
