A Phenomenological Model for Self-rippling Energy of Free Graphene Monolayer and Its Application
DownloadSpring 2018
Several candidate phenomenological expressions are studied for self-rippling energy that drives ripple formation of free single-layer graphene sheets. One phenomenological expression is admittedbased on the stability criterion of periodic ripple mode, while all others are rejected because they...

Quantum-Mechanical Assessment of Graphene and MoS2 Transistors for Future Radio-Frequency Electronics
DownloadSpring 2017
Due to aggressive device scaling, the performance and cost-effectiveness of field-effect transistors (FETs) have improved exponentially over the last 60 years, a trend known as Moore’s Law. Unfortunately, obstacles have arisen to further scaling, including decreased electrostatic control of the...
