Graphene

Graphene is a one-atom-thick planar sheet of sp2-bonded carbon atoms that are densely packed in a honeycomb crystal lattice

The name ‘graphene’ comes from graphite + -ene = graphene

Molecular structure of graphene

Page 5: Graphene nanoribbons

Properties of Graphene

pure substance, orderly structure based on tight, regular, atomic bondingGraphene is believed to be the strongest material yet discoveredHas high thermal conductivityCan conduct electricity very wellIs very light and transparentSheets of Graphene are impermeable

Carbon Nanotubes (CNT)Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are basically graphene sheets rolled up in a certain direction.“Chiral vector” or “chirality” describes how a graphene sheet is rolled up to form CNT.CNT might be metallic or semiconducting, depending on its chirality.Carbon nanotubes are strong, they are not brittle.They can be bent, and when released, they will spring back to their original shape.

Graphene Nanoribbons (GNR)

also called nano-graphite ribbonscarbon based materialone-dimensional structures with hexagonal two dimensional carbon latticesa derivative of GrapheneGraphene ribbons were introduced as a theoretical model by Mitsutaka Fujita

Properties of GNR

GNR inherits almost all the attractive properties of the carbon nanotube and graphene.Has additional benefit of a tunable band gapZigzag & Armchair GNRs have metallic or semiconducting electronic properties that depends on the width of the nanoribbon.

Synthesis methods of GNRs

The structure and physical properties of GNRs vary significantly depending on the synthesis method. The methods are: cutting from graphene using lithography bottom-up synthesis from polycyclic moleculesunzipping of carbon nanotubes (CNTs)

Comparison between two types of material used inTransistors of Fig 1 and Fig 2

Table 1: Set of CNT’s Diameters Used for the Op Amp Design

where "a" is the carbon to carbon atomic distance and it isequal to 1.42 angstrom

Normal 7-99 angstrom transistor has a height of 0.65 cm and a diameter of 0.60 cm

It can be concluded that diameter of Transistor is greatly reduced with usage of CNT material.
