- describe the basic graphene properties such as high mobility, transparency, and understand why it is important for future electronics.
- describe major synthesis technologies (chemical vapor deposition, epitaxy on SiC, exfoliation, chemical methods) and their advantages/disadvantages, and get hand-on clean room experiences on chemical vapor deposition.
- describe the characterization technologies of graphene material, and can properly choose the appropriate method according to various needs, as well as judge the quality of graphene based on the measurements.
- describe the mechanism of graphene transistors, including advantages/drawbacks in high frequency and logic applications.
- describe graphene transparent electrodes, especially in GaN optoelectronics and flexible electronics; understand the environmental issues in transparent electronics and analyze the possible solutions based on graphene.
- describe the basics for the application of low cost, chemically derived graphene in printed electronics.
- describe other applications of graphene (e.g. bio, mechanical).
- understand and describe the sp2 hybridized electronic structure/energy bands of graphene and do some simple analysis.
- understand and describe the quantum Hall effect and do some calculation. Know several other quantum phenomena in graphene.
- describe some basics of other related two-dimensional materials such as BN and MoS2: why they are interesting, what the potential applications are.
The course includes a series of lectures and problem solving classes. There are laboratory exercises on chemical vapor deposition of graphene.
Written exam. Oral and written reports of student group work with laboratory exercises.
