Band Gap Engineering in Graphene
• Geometry –
nanoribbons,
constrictions,
vacancy/substitution
superlattices
• Interactions with
substrate or other
layers, e.g SiC Graphene-on-SiC FETs from DARPA CERA
• Bi-layer graphene
• Chemical
Modification
• Others?
13
Fluorographene – “2-d Teflon”
• Birth of a new promising material
• High quality insulator > 1012 Ω
• > 3 eV optical gap, wide gap
semiconductor
• 15% sustained strain
• Inert and stable up to 400oC

demonstrates the Michael Faraday, father of
carbon arc electric light nanotechnology, depicted here
at the Royal Institution, giving a “Christmas Lecture,”
London 1809 which started in 1825 and
below are the banks of batteries down
in the basement continues to this day

Difference between MWNTs and cca-MWNTs
from Krzysztof Koziol
MWNTs cca-MWNTs
• AFRL’s Objectives:
• Mission: Objective 1 – Lead Discovery (Tech Push)
Objective 2 – Respond to Needs (Rqmts Pull)
• People: Objective 3 – Effective and Thriving Workforce
• Resources: Objective 4 – Efficient and Healthy Resources
• Process: Objective 5 – Processes that Help, not Hinder
