Spring 2018
Graphene has created much excitement in the scientific community since 2004, when Novoselov and Geim developed a method to exfoliate atomic layers from graphite, earning them the 2010 Nobel prize. The great interest in graphene stems from its outstanding material properties such as atomic...

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...

Spring 2015
This Ph.D. thesis focuses on the radio-frequency (RF) linearity of carbon-nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs) and graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs). The thesis can be categorized into three stages. In the first stage, the RF linearity potential of CNFETs has been investigated by...

Kumar, Pawan, Boukherroub, Rabah, Shankar, Karthik
The overwhelming challenge of depleting fossil fuels and anthropogenic carbon emissions has driven research into alternative clean sources of energy. To achieve the goal of a carbon neutral economy, the harvesting of sunlight by using photocatalysts to split water into hydrogen and oxygen is an...

We study the ground state physics of a helium-4 monolayer adsorbed onto graphene substrate through means of quantum Monte Carlo simulations. At low temperatures, helium-4 is well-known to undergo a superfluid transition. In the presence of a modulating potential from corrugated substrates like...
