High quality of graphene is necessary for its applications at industrial scale production. The most convenient way is its direct growth on dielectrics which avoid the transfer route of graphene from metal to dielectric substrate usually followed by graphene community. The choice of a suitable dielectric for the gate material which can replace silicon dioxide (SiO2) is in high demand. Various properties like permittivity, thermodynamic stability, film morphology, interface quality, bandgap and band alignment of other dielectrics with graphene needs more exploration. A potential dielectric material is required which could be used to grow graphene with all these qualities. Direct growth of graphene on magnesium oxide (MgO) substrates is an interesting idea and will be a new addition in the library of 2D materials. The present work is about the direct growth of graphene on MgO substrates by an ambient pressure chemical vapour deposition (CVD) method. We address the surface instability issue of the polar oxides which is the most challenging factor in MgO. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements showed the topographical features of the graphene coated on MgO. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study is carried out to extract information regarding the presence of necessary elements, their bonding with substrates and to confirm the sp-2 hybridization of carbon, which is a characteristic feature of graphene film. The chemical shift is due to the surface reconstruction of MgO in the prepared samples. For graphene-MgO interface, valence band offset (VBO) and conduction band offset (CBO) extracted from valence band spectra reported. Further, we predicted the energy band diagram for single layer and thin film of graphene. By using the room-temperature energy band gap values of MgO and graphene, the CBO is calculated to be 6.85 eV for single layer and 5.66 eV for few layer (1-3) of graphene layers.

Suitable alkaline for graphene peeling grown on metallic catalysts using chemical vapor deposition KARAMAT, SHUMAİLA; Sonusen, S.; ÇELİK, ÜMİT; UYSALLI, YİĞİT; Oral, Ahmet (Elsevier BV, 2016-04-15) In chemical vapor deposition, the higher growth temperature roughens the surface of the metal catalyst and a delicate method is necessary for the transfer of graphene from metal catalyst to the desired substrates. In this work, we grow graphene on Pt and Cu foil via ambient pressure chemical vapor deposition (AP-CVD) method and further alkaline water electrolysis was used to peel off graphene from the metallic catalyst. We used different electrolytes i.e., sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH),...
Combined effect of point defects and layer number on the adsorption of benzene and toluene on graphene Akay, Tugce Irfan; Toffoli, Daniele; Toffoli, Hande (Elsevier BV, 2019-06-30) Understanding the adsorption properties of organic molecules on graphene-based substrates is important for such applications as air and water filters. Pristine graphene is often the model substrate used in the theoretical investigations of this problem. While useful, pristine single-layer graphene is however an idealized model. In this work, we assess the effect of the presence of point defects (single vacancy, divacancy, and the Stone-Wales defect) in single-layer and bilayer graphene on the energetics of ...
A feasibility study for controlling self-organized production of plasmonic enhancement interfaces for solar cells Borra, Mona Zolfaghari; Gullu, Seda Kayra; Es, Fırat; Demircioğlu, Olgu; Günöven, Mete; Turan, Raşit; Bek, Alpan (Elsevier BV, 2014-11-01) The decoration of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) by the self-organized mechanism of dewetting is utilized as a suitable method for plasmonic interface integration to large area full-scale solar cell (SC) devices. Reflection measurements are performed on both flat and textured silicon (Si) SCs in order to investigate the local plasmonic resonances of the MNPs. The effects of particle size and thickness of silicon nitride (Si3N4)anti-reflection coating layer are investigated by reflection measurements and the shi...
Indium tin oxide nanoparticles as anode for light-emitting diodes Çırpan, Ali (Wiley, 2006-02-15) Thin films of indium tin oxide (ITO) nanoparticles have been investigated as anode materials for polymer light-emitting diodes. A luminance efficiency (0.13 cd/ A), higher than that (0.09 cd/A) obtained in a control devices fabricated on conventional commercial ITO anodes were found. The thin films were made by spin coating of a suspension followed by annealing. The ITO nartoparticle films have a stable sheet resistance of 200 ohm/sq, and an optical transmittance greater than 86% over the range of 400-1000 ...
Atomic and electronic structure of rigid carbon atomic chains Usanmaz, D.; Srivastava, G. P. (Wiley, 2012-09-01) We have reported, from ab initio calculations, on the changes in the electronic and structural properties of short carbon atomic chains held rigidly between hydrogenated armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNR) and zig-zag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNR). Several lengths (N?=?29 atoms) and forms of the chains have been considered. All models are found to be metallic in nature, with chemical bonding more like $\cdots {\rm C}- {\rm C}\equiv {\rm C}- {\rm C}\equiv {\rm C}\cdots $ (as in polyyne) for odd-numbered chain...
