Abstract
One of the most interesting predicted applications of graphene monolayer based devices is as high quality sensors. In this letter we show, through systematic experiments, a chemical vapor sensor based on the measurement of low frequency resistance fluctuations of single layer graphene field-effect-transistor (SLG-FET) devices. The sensor has extremely high sensitivity, very high specificity, high fidelity and fast response times. The performance of the device using this scheme of measurement (which uses resistance fluctuations as the detection parameter) is more than two orders of magnitude better than a detection scheme where changes in the average value of the resistance is monitored. We propose a number-density fluctuation based model to explain the superior characteristics of noise measurement based detection scheme presented in this article.
