This work presents one solution for long-term storage of epitaxial graphene (EG) in air, namely through the functionalization of millimeter-scale devices with chromium tricarbonyl - Cr(CO). The carrier density may be tuned reproducibly by annealing below 400 K due to the presence of Cr(CO). All tuning is easily reversible with exposure to air, with the idle, in-air, carrier density always being close to the Dirac point. Precision measurements in the quantum Hall regime indicate no detrimental effects from the treatment, validating the pursuit of developing air-stable EG-based QHR devices.
这项工作提出了一种在外延石墨烯(EG)在空气中长期存储的解决方案,即通过用三羰基铬-Cr(CO)对毫米级器件进行功能化。由于Cr(CO)的存在,通过在400 K以下退火可以可重复地调节载流子密度。所有调节在暴露于空气时都很容易逆转,闲置时在空气中的载流子密度始终接近狄拉克点。量子霍尔 regime中的精确测量表明该处理没有有害影响,验证了开发基于空气稳定的EG的QHR器件的追求。
