Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms, exhibits unique electronic properties originating from the linear energy dispersion relation. Due to its large specific surface area, electronic properties of graphene are significantly influenced by molecular adsorbates. We experimentally studied the electron transfer process between graphene and molecules by depositing a variety of molecules on graphene. As a result, it was found that the efficiency of carrier doping is determined by the difference of the Fermi energy of graphene and the HOMO/LUMO level of the molecules. It was also suggested that electron-transfer molecules lead to inhomogeneous potential energy in graphene, which may degrade the carrier mobility. This problem is more significant in the doping method than in the conventional gating method using the electric-field effect.
