Examining epitaxial graphene surface conductivity and quantum Hall device stability with Parylene passivation

March 20, 2018
Author(s)
Albert F. Rigosi, Chieh-I Liu, Bi Y. Wu, Hsin Y. Lee, Mattias Kruskopf, Yanfei Yang, Heather M. Hill, Jiuning Hu, Emily G. Bittle, Jan Obrzut, Angela R. Hight Walker, Randolph E. Elmquist, David B. Newell
When it comes to the advancement of quantized Hall resistance (QHR) standards, homogeneous, single-crystal, monolayer epitaxial graphene (EG) is the most promising candidate. EG-based quantum Hall devices, though emerging as a useful tool for metrology

Measuring the dielectric and optical response of millimeter-scale amorphous and hexagonal boron nitride films grown on epitaxial graphene

Albert F. Rigosi, Heather M. Hill, Nicholas R. Glavin, Sujitra J. Pookpanratana, Yanfei Yang, Alexander G. Boosalis, Jiuning Hu, Anthony Rice, Andrew A. Allerman, Nhan V. Nguyen, Christina A. Hacker, Randolph E. Elmquist, Angela R. Hight Walker, David B. Newell
Monolayer epitaxial graphene (EG), grown on the Si face of SiC, is an advantageous material for a variety of electronic and optical applications. EG forms as a single crystal over millimeter- scale areas and consequently, the large scale single crystal can

Probing the dielectric response of the interfacial buffer layer in epitaxial graphene via optical spectroscopy

Heather M. Hill, Albert Rigosi, Sugata Chowdhury, Yanfei Yang, Nhan Van Nguyen, Francesca Tavazza, Randolph Elmquist, David B. Newell, Angela R. Hight Walker
Monolayer epitaxial graphene (EG) is a suitable candidate for a variety of electronic applications. One advantage of EG growth on the Si face of SiC is that it develops as a single crystal, as does the layer below, referred to as the interfacial buffer

Measurement of the Planck constant at the National Institute of Standards and Technology from 2015 to 2017

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST) estimate the value of the Planck constant as h = 6.62606994(10) x 10^-34 Js, hence with relative standard uncertainty 15.3 x 10^-9. This measurement result is based on over 17,000

Coulomb drag and counterflow Seebeck coefficient in bilayer-graphene double layers

July 21, 2017
Author(s)
Jiuning Hu, David B. Newell, Jifa Tian, Nikolai N. Klimov, Tailung Wu, Yong Chen
We have fabricated bilayer-graphene double layers separated by a thin (~20 nm) boron nitride layer and performed Coulomb drag and counterflow thermoelectric transport measurements. The measured Coulomb drag resistivity is nearly three orders smaller in

Electrical stabilization of surface resistivity in epitaxial graphene systems by amorphous boron nitride encapsulation

May 25, 2017
Author(s)
Albert F. Rigosi, Chieh-I Liu, Nicholas R. Glavin, Yanfei Yang, Heather M. Hill, Jiuning Hu, Angela R. Hight Walker, Curt A. Richter, Randolph E. Elmquist, David B. Newell
Homogeneous monolayer epitaxial graphene (EG) is an ideal candidate for the development of millimeter-sized devices with single-crystal domains. A clean fabrication process was used to produce EG-based devices with n-type doping level of order 10^12 cm^-2

Preservation of surface conductivity and dielectric loss tangent in large-scale, encapsulated epitaxial graphene measured by non-contact microwave cavity perturbations

Regarding the improvement of current quantized Hall resistance (QHR) standards, one promising avenue is the growth of homogeneous monolayer epitaxial graphene (EG). A clean and simple process was used to produce large, precise areas of EG. Properties like

CODATA Recommended Values of the Fundamental Physical Constants: 2014

Peter J. Mohr, David B. Newell, Barry N. Taylor
This paper gives the 2014 self-consistent set of values of the constants and conversion factors of physics and chemistry recommended by the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA). These values are based on a least-squares adjustment that

Bridging classical and quantum mechanics

Darine El Haddad, Frank C. Seifert, Leon S. Chao, Shisong Lee, David B. Newell, Jon R. Pratt, Carl J. Williams, Stephan Schlamminger
Using a watt balance and a frequency comb, a mass-energy equivalence is derived. The watt balance compares mechanical power measured in terms of the meter, the second, and the kilogram to electrical power measured in terms of the volt and the ohm. A direct
