Researchers have a multi-layer grafeenprototype made in which the electrical properties of the material are much better to adapt than in previous projects. This brings the application of grafeentransistors closer.
The scientists from the University of Manchester put two layers of graphene between layers boornitride. Because the grafeenlagen completely surrounded by the boornitride, could the research team as to examine how the material behaves when it is not affected by external circumstances.
According to team leader Leonid Ponomarenko, the electrical properties of graphene because of this exploit in a way that was previously not within reach. “So far, people have graphene never as insulator seen, unless the material has deliberately been damaged. We have graphene of high quality for the first time to the isolator.”
According to him, the new structure is the best grafeenplatform to use for future electronics and problems in the area of instability and quality effective be set aside. Within a few months, there would be transistors that may appear of graphene by boornitride is encapsulated. That transistors have better capacity than previous grafeenschakelingen. Results of the research appear in the journal Nature Physics.
