Modified Graphene-like Films as a New Class of Semiconductors with a Variable Energy Gap

  • 1. V. Lashkaryov Institute of Semiconductor Physics, Kyiv (Ukraine)

Description

It has been theoretically predicted and experimentally proved that the deformation of thin graphite-like carbon films is accompanied by the appearance of an energy gap at the K-point, the gap being proportional to a strain. A metal-semiconductor phase transition in a thin graphite (or multilayered Graphene) film has been revealed. This phenomenon can be promising for the development of semiconducting materials.
