Provided is a graphene substrate, which is manufactured by: bringing a metal layer into contact with a carbon-containing layer and heating the metal layer to dissolve carbon in the carbon-containing layer into the metal layer; and cooling the metal layer to precipitate the carbon in the metal layer as graphene on any substrate surface.

Provided is a versatile method of determining the number of layers of a two-dimensional atomic layer thin film as compared with conventional methods. An electron beam is radiated to a two-dimensional thin film atomic structure having an unknown number of layers to determine the number of layers based on an intensity of reflected electrons or secondary electrons generated thereby. In particular, this method is effective for determining the number of layers of graphene.
摘要:
A semiconductor device is provided which is produced from a high-quality and large-area graphene substrate and is capable of fully exhibiting superior electronic properties that graphene inherently has. The semiconductor device is capable of realizing increased operation speed, reduced power consumption, and higher degree of integration, and thus is capable of improving the reliability and productivity. Electrical short circuit between a graphene layer (4) and a metal catalyst layer for growth of graphene is prevented by causing the metal catalyst layer to be absorbed as a compound/alloyed layer 5 at the interface between a substrate (1) and an oxide layer (2).
摘要:
It is to provide a thermodynamically and chemically stable dopant material which can achieve controls of the pn conduction types, carrier density, and threshold value of gate voltage, and a manufacturing method thereof. Further, it is to provide an actually operable semiconductor device such as a transistor with an excellent high-speed operability and high-integration characteristic. Provided is a dopant material obtained by depositing, on a carbon nanotube, a donor with a smaller ionization potential than an intrinsic work function of the carbon nanotube or an acceptor with a larger electron affinity than the intrinsic work function of the carbon nanotube. The ionization potential of the donor in vacuum is desired to be 6.4 eV or less, and the electron affinity of the acceptor in vacuum to be 2.3 eV or more.
摘要:
A carborane supercluster consisting of carborane (C2B10H12) as its constituent unit expressed as a molecular formula C2mB10mH12m-x, where x is a positive integer (i.e., x=1, 2, 3, . . . ) and m is an integer greater than unity (i.e., m=2, 3, . . . ). The parameter x represents the count of removed or detached hydrogen atoms. The parameter a represents the count of the clusters linked together. To produce the supercluster, carborane (C2B10H12) is ionized in a reaction chamber to generate carborane ions and then, the carborane ions thus generated are successively reacted with the remaining neutral (i.e., non-ionized) carborane (C2B10H12), thereby generating the carborane supercluster. Preferably, the cluster of the carborane consists of at least two of o-carborane, m-carborane, and p-carborane.
摘要:
A mixture of carbon nanotubes and impurity carbon materials, which include carbon nanoparticles and may possibly include amorphous carbon, is purified into carbon nanotubes of high purity by utilizing a significant difference in oxidizability between the nanotubes and the nanoparticles. The mixture is pulverized and heated in the presence of an oxidizing agent at a temperature in the range from 600.degree. to 1000.degree. C. until the impurity carbon materials are oxidized and dissipated into gas phase. The nanotubes remain almost unoxidized except for loss of some lengths from the tube tips. It is suitable to perform the heating in air or oxygen.
摘要:
A novel carbon material is obtained by bending at least one carbon atom layer of graphite in at least one selected region along either, or both, of lines I and II in FIG. 1. The bending can be accomplished by scanningly picking the carbon atom layer(s) with a probe of an atomic force microscope or another scanning microscope. The obtained carbon material has at least one round bend having a width of 0.1-10 nm and at least one flap region having a triangular, rectangular or still differently polygonal shape in plan view. When the carbon atom layer(s) is bent with very small radii of curvature, a finely striped ridge-and-groove structure appears in the round bend. The physical properties of the obtained carbon material are uniquely determined by the direction(s) of bending, width of each bend, shape and size of each flap region and the stripe pitch of the ridge-and-groove structure.
