Observing hot carrier distribution in an n-type epitaxial graphene on a SiC substrate

Journal Article Someya, T. ; Ishida, Y. ; Yoshida, R. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Hot carrier dynamics in the Dirac band of n-type epitaxial graphene on a SiC substrate were traced in real time using femtosecond-time-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The spectral evolution directly reflects the energetically linear density of states superimposed with a Fermi–Dirac distribution. The relaxation time is governed by the internal energy dissipation of electron–electron scattering, and the observed electronic temperature indicates cascade carrier multiplication.

Dynamics of photoexcited carriers in monolayer epitaxial graphene probed by photoluminescence in the near-infrared region

Journal Article Koyama, Takeshi ; Ito, Yoshito ; Yoshida, Kazuma ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

We investigate the dynamics of photoexcited carriers in a single monolayer graphene at room temperature in air by femtosecond time-resolved luminescence measurements. The luminescence kinetics observed in the near-infrared region from 0.7 to 0.9 eV are analyzed based on the two-temperature model describing the cooling of thermalized carriers due to the carrier-optical-phonon coupling. The observed luminescence kinetics are well reproduced by the model, though the calculated electron temperature increases only to ∼420 K at the maximum, which is much lower than the optical phonon energies. This indicates the predominance of optical phonons over acoustic phonons in the carrier-phonon interaction evenmore » at a temperature of ∼400 K.« less

Direct experimental evidence for the reversal of carrier type upon hydrogen intercalation in epitaxial graphene/SiC(0001)

Journal Article Rajput, S., E-mail: srajput@uwm.edu ; Li, Y. Y. ; Li, L. - Applied Physics Letters

Raman spectroscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy measurements are performed to determine the atomic structure and electronic properties of H-intercalated graphene/SiC(0001) obtained by annealing the as-grown epitaxial graphene in hydrogen atmosphere. While the as-grown graphene is found to be n-type with the Dirac point (E{sub D}) at 450 and 350 meV below Fermi level for the 1st and 2nd layer, the H-intercalated graphene is p-type with E{sub D} at 320 and 200 meV above. In addition, ripples are observed in the now quasi-free standing graphene decoupled from the SiC substrate. This causes fluctuations in the Dirac point that directly follow the undulations ofmore »« less

Evidence of minority carrier injection efficiency >90% in an epitaxial graphene/SiC Schottky emitter bipolar junction phototransistor for ultraviolet detection

Journal Article Chava, Venkata S. N., ; Omar, Sabih U. ; Brown, Gabriel ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

In this letter, we report the UV detection characteristics of an epitaxial graphene (EG)/SiC based Schottky emitter bipolar phototransistor (SEPT) with EG on top as the transparent Schottky emitter layer. Under 0.43 μW UV illumination, the device showed a maximum common emitter current gain of 113, when operated in the Schottky emitter mode. We argue that avalanche gain and photoconductive gain can be excluded, indicating minority carrier injection efficiency, γ, as high as 99% at the EG/p-SiC Schottky junction. This high γ is attributed to the large, highly asymmetric barrier, which EG forms with the p-SiC. The maximum responsivity of themore »« less

Tuning carrier density across Dirac point in epitaxial graphene on SiC by corona discharge

Journal Article Lartsev, Arseniy ; Yager, Tom ; Lara-Avila, Samuel ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We demonstrate reversible carrier density control across the Dirac point (Δn ∼ 10{sup 13 }cm{sup −2}) in epitaxial graphene on SiC (SiC/G) via high electrostatic potential gating with ions produced by corona discharge. The method is attractive for applications where graphene with a fixed carrier density is needed, such as quantum metrology, and more generally as a simple method of gating 2DEGs formed at semiconductor interfaces and in topological insulators.
