摘要:

全石墨烯电子器件的成功受到半导体沟道和金属接触的挑战性实现和后续集成的严重阻碍。在这里,我们全面调查的宽度调制异质结的电子输运组成的石墨烯量子点的不同长度和宽度嵌入在一对扶手椅边缘的金属纳米带,最近通过表面合成制造的那种。我们表明,量子点的存在下,使宽度依赖的传输带隙的开放,从而产生内置的一维金属-半导体-金属结。此外,我们发现,在附近的带边,电导是受一个平滑的过渡,从反共振到共振输运制度时,增加沟道长度。这些结果是合理的量子限制效应和量子点之间的竞争方面的铅耦合。总的来说,我们的工作建立了石墨烯量子点纳米架构作为吸引人的平台,无缝集成间隙可调半导体通道和金属接触到一个单独的纳米管,从而实现自包含的碳基电子器件。

英文摘要:

The success of all-graphene electronics is severely hindered by the challenging realization and subsequent integration of semiconducting channels and metallic contacts. Here, we comprehensively investigate the electronic transport across width-modulated heterojunctions consisting of a graphene quantum dot of varying lengths and widths embedded in a pair of armchair-edged metallic nanoribbons, of the kind recently fabricated via on-surface synthesis. We show that the presence of the quantum dot enables the opening of a width-dependent transport gap, thereby yielding built-in one-dimensional metal-semiconductor-metal junctions. Furthermore, we find that, in the vicinity of the band edges, the conductance is subject to a smooth transition from an antiresonant to a resonant transport regime upon increasing the channel length. These results are rationalized in terms of a competition between quantum-confinement effects and quantum dot-to-lead coupling. Overall, our work establishes graphene quantum dot nanoarchitectures as appealing platforms to seamlessly integrate gap-tunable semiconducting channels and metallic contacts into an individual nanoribbon, hence realizing self-contained carbon-based electronic devices.
