Tailoring mechanically-tunable strain fields in graphene
M. Goldsche, J. Sonntag, T. Khodkov +7
There are a number of theoretical proposals based on strain engineering of graphene and other two-dimensional materials, however purely mechanical control of strain fields in these…
Transport spectroscopy of ultraclean tunable band gaps in bilayer graphene
E. Icking, L. Banszerus, F. Wörtche +11
The importance of controlling both the charge carrier density and the band gap of a semiconductor cannot be overstated, as it opens the doors to a wide range of applications, inclu…
Fabrication of comb-drive actuators for straining nanostructured suspended graphene
M. Goldsche, G. J. Verbiest, T. Khodkov +4
We report on the fabrication and characterization of an optimized comb-drive actuator design for strain-dependent transport measurements on suspended graphene. We fabricate devices…
Impact of thermal annealing on graphene devices encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride
S. Engels, B. Terrés, F. Klein +6
We present a thermal annealing study on single-layer and bilayer (BLG) graphene encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride. The samples are characterized by electron transport and Ram…
Integrated impedance bridge for absolute capacitance measurements at cryogenic temperatures and finite magnetic fields
G. J. Verbiest, H. Janssen, D. Xu +10
We developed an impedance bridge that operates at cryogenic temperatures (down to 60 mK) and in perpendicular magnetic fields up to at least 12 T. This is achieved by mounting a Ga…
Tunable coupling of two mechanical resonators by a graphene membrane
G. J. Verbiest, M. Goldsche, J. Sonntag +4
Coupled nanomechanical resonators are interesting for both fundamental studies and practical applications as they offer rich and tunable oscillation dynamics. At present, the mecha…
