1 Graphene - most two-dimensional system imaginable A suspended sheet of pure graphene a plane layer of C atoms bonded together in a honeycomb lattice is the most two-dimensional system imaginable. A.J. Leggett Such sheets have long been known to exist in disguised forms in graphite (many graphene sheets stacked on top of one another), C nanotubes (a graphene sheet rolled into a cylinder) and fullerenes (buckyballs), which are small areas of a graphene sheet sewn together to form an approximately spherical surface. Until 2004, it was generally believed (a) that an extended graphene sheet would not be stable against the effects of thermal and other fluctuations, and (b) that even if they were stable, it would be impossible to isolate them so that their properties could be systematically studied. Modified from: Dr. Chris Ewels, Inst. of Materials
2 In 2004, André Geim et al. (University of Manchester, UK) demonstrated that both these beliefs were false: they created single graphene sheets by peeling them off a graphite substrate using scotch tape, and characterized them as indeed single-sheet by simple optical microscopy on top of a SiO 2 substrate. Now it is done mostly by Raman spectroscopy. Subsequently it was found that small graphene sheets do not need to rest on substrates but can be freely suspended from a scaffolding; furthermore, bilayer and multilayer sheets can be prepared and characterized. As a result of these developments, the number of papers on graphene published in the last few years exceeds The Nobel Prize in Physics 2010 Andre Geim Konstantin Novoselov Graphene is a very promising material both for applications and fundamental research.

4 What is graphene? Imagine a piece of paper but a million times thinner. This is how thick graphene is. Imagine a material stronger than diamond. This is how strong graphene is [in the plane]. Imagine a material more conducting than copper. This is how conductive graphene is. Imagine a machine that can test the same physics that scientists test in, say, CERN, but small enough to stand on top of your table. Graphene allows this to happen. Having such a material in hand, one can easily think of many useful things that can eventually come out. As concerns new physics, no one doubts about it already...'' From a recently interview with Andre Geim.
5 Carbon is the materia prima for life and the basis of all organic chemistry. Because of the flexibility of its bonding, carbon-based systems show an unlimited number of different structures with an equally large variety of physical properties. Graphene is a honeycomb lattice of carbon atoms. Carbon nanotubes are rolled-up cylinders of graphene Graphite can be viewed as a stack of graphene layers. Fullerenes C 60 are molecules consisting of wrapped graphene by the introduction of pentagons on the hexagonal lattice. From Castro Neto et al, 2009
6 Crystal structure The electronic structure of an isolated C atom is (1s) 2 (2s) 2 (2p) 4 ; in a solid-state environment the 1s electrons remain more or less inert, but the 2s and 2p electrons hybridize. One possible result is four sp 3 orbitals, which naturally tend to establish a tetrahedral bonding pattern that soaks up all the valence electrons: this is precisely what happens in the best known solid form of C, namely diamond, which is a very good insulator (band gap about 5 ev). An alternative possibility is to form three sp 2 orbitals, leaving over a more or less pure p- orbital. In that case the natural tendency is for the sp 2 orbitals to arrange themselves in a plane at 120 o angles, and the lattice thus formed is the honeycomb lattice.
7 Band structure Lattice structure of graphene, made out of two interpenetrating triangular lattices a 1 and a 2 are the lattice unit vectors, and δ i are the nearest-neighbor vectors. Corresponding Brillouin zone.
8 Energy vanishes at the points K, K, and those equivalent to them The picture and derivations adapted from Castro Neto et al., Rev. Mod. Phys. 81, 109 (2009)
9 Sketch of derivation (1) Wallace, Phys. Rev. 71, 622 (1947)
10 Sketch of derivation (2)
11 Conic (Dirac) points Let us put and expand the Hamiltonian in small Coefficient can be dropped Similarly It is suggestive to express the Hamiltonian describing conic points in the form - Pauli matrices The Hamiltonian is, from a formal point of view, exactly that of an ultra-relativistic (or mass-less) particle of spin 1/2 (such as the neutrino), with the velocity of light c replaced by the Fermi velocity v F, which is a factor 300 smaller.
12 Thus there arises the prospect, which excites a lot of people, of finding analogs to many phenomena predicted to occur in a solid-state context. Comment However, it should be remembered that the Dirac excitations near K are not the antiparticles of those near K ; rather it is the two possible combinations of the excitations near one Dirac point on the A and B sub-lattices, with energies respectively, which are one another s antiparticles. Eigenfunctions for the vicinity of the K-point Note that when q rotates once around the Dirac point, the phase of changes by, not by, as is characteristic for spin-1/2 particles.
13 Important parameters for conic spectrum Density of states at K-point: Since there are 2 Dirac points How one can introduce effective mass? Doping shifts the Fermi level leading to creating a Fermi line. This definition provides the cyclotron effective mass.
14 Klein tunneling Due to the chiral nature of their quasiparticles, quantum tunneling in these materials becomes highly anisotropic, qualitatively different from the case of normal, nonrelativistic electrons. Massless Dirac fermions in graphene allow a close realization of Klein s gedanken experiment - unimpeded penetration of relativistic particles through high and wide potential barriers. The paradox: When the barrier increases, transmission becomes perfect! Schematic diagrams of the spectrum of quasiparticles in single-layer graphene. The spectrum is linear at low Fermi energies (<1eV). The red and green curves emphasize the origin of the linear spectrum, which is the crossing between the energy bands associated with crystal sublattices A and B. The Fermi level (dotted lines) lies in the conduction band outside the barrier and the valence band inside it. The blue filling indicates occupied states.
15 Explanation: Absence of backscattering for Adapted from Beenakker, 2007 Because the magnitude v of the carrier velocity is independent of the energy, an electron moving along the field lines cannot be backscattered since that would require v = 0 at the turning point.
16 An electron-like excitation continue under the barrier as a hole-like one Momentum changes its sign, but the (group) velocity is conserved. As a result anisotropic scattering. Result for high energies : Under resonance conditions transparent (interference effects). the barrier becomes More significantly, however, the barrier always remains perfectly transparent for angles close to the normal incidence φ = 0. The latter is the feature unique to massless Dirac fermions and is directly related to the Klein paradox in QED.
17 Klein tunneling is the mechanism for electrical conduction through the interface between p-doped and n-doped graphene. n-p-n junction in graphene a) cross-sectional view of the device. b) electrostatic potential profile U(x) along the cross-section of a). The combination of a positive voltage on the back gate and a negative voltage on the top gate produces a central p- doped region flanked by two n-doped regions. c) Optical image of the device. The barely visible graphene flake is outlined with a dashed line and the dielectric layer of PMMA appears as a blue shadow. (Huard et al., 2007)
18 Minimal conductance of graphene What happens with the conductance of graphene when the Fermi level reaches the conic point? Does it vanish or not? The conductance reaches a minimum corresponding to double value comparing to the value at the lowest quantum Hall plateau. Conductivity versus gate voltage
19 Minimal conductance of graphene The band structure of graphene has two valleys, which are decoupled in the case of a smooth edge. In a given valley the excitations have a two-component envelope wave function The two components of refer to the two sublattices in the two-dimensional honeycomb lattice of carbon atoms. Dirac equation: with the velocity of the massless excitations of charge and energy, the momentum operator,, the position, and a Pauli matrix. We choose the zero of energy such that the Fermi level is at. Boundary conditions: The transversal momenta are quantized as: Tworzydlo et al., 2006
20 Level quantization and quantum Hall Effect in graphene At a typical doping, electrons are degenerate at room temperature. In the absence of magnetic field the tight binding Hamiltonian close to Dirac points is In magnetic field one has to replace to get: We have to find eigenvalues of this Hamiltonian versus magnetic field B
21 Let us assume that and choose the Landau gauge It is also convenient to choose dimensionless variables Measuring lengths in units of, one gets The Hamiltonian can be rewritten as It is immediately seen that the energies are parameterized by the quantity
22 Trick: let us apply the Hamilton operator twice. We have Note that the operator is the Hamiltonian of a dimensionless Harmonic oscillator with eigenvalues Consequently, Quantum numbers n correspond to Landau levels, but they are not equidistant. The number of states per the Landau level corresponds to the number of flux quanta through the cell,

24 Room-temperature quantum Hall Effect in graphene At B=45 T the Fermi level is located between n=0 and 1 At T= 300 K, the plateaus are seen at B < 20 T

28 First graphene touch screen The process includes adhesion of polymer supports, copper etching (rinsing) and dry transferprinting on a target substrate. A wet-chemical doping can be carried out using a set-up similar to that used for etching. Sustains strain up to 6% Extremely promising for transparent electrodes Nature Nanotechnology (2010)
29 Example: Graphene Q-switched, tunable fiber laser Group by Ferrari, UK: preprint 2010 Graphene is used as a non-linear (saturated absorption) medium to create short optical pulses. The authors have succeeded to make 2 μs pulses, tunable between 1522 and 1555 nm with up to 40nJ energy. This is a simple and low-cost light source for metrology, environmental sensing and biomedical diagnostics. Studies of graphene is a very interesting and promising area, but a lot of things remains to be done to create graphene electronics.
30 Giant Faraday rotation Graphene turns the polarization by several degrees in modest magnetic fields. This opens pathways to use graphene in fast tunable ultrathin infrared magneto-optical devices. The polarization plane of the linearly polarized incoming beam is rotated by the Faraday angle θ after passing through graphene on a SiC substrate in a perpendicular magnetic field. Studies of graphene is a very interesting and promising area, but a lot of things remains to be done to create graphene electronics. Simultaneously, the polarization acquires a certain ellipticity.
