Abstract:
The invention relates to a novel type of gate-tunable photonics and plasmonics which utilizes doped large-scale graphene coupled with ferroelectric material. The graphene-ferroelectric hybrid structure paves the way for the realization of ultrafast, low power consumption and multi-wavelength operation saturable absorbers for applications in ultra-fast laser systems and novel types of plasmonics for applications in infrared detection, single-photon quantum devices and ultrasensitive detectors.
Abstract:
The disclosed memory cell (10) comprises a graphene layer (16) having controllable resistance states representing data values of the memory cell (10) In one exemplary embodiment a non- volatile memory is provided by having a ferroelectric layer (18) control the resistance states. In the exemplary embodiment, binary '0's and '1's are respectively represented by low and high resistance states of the graphene layer (16), and these states are switched in a non-volatile manner by the polarization directions of the ferroelectric layer (18).
