Annealing is well known technique to improve metal contacts. In order to anneal metal/graphene contacts information of suitable time of thermal treatment process is required, otherwise in a long annealing process undesired deformation in graphene layer or electronic device can be induced. In this article we introduce the investigation of the annealing time of metal/graphene structure. Electrical properties of contact between CVD grown graphene and metal (Au and Ni), using circular transmission line model (CTLM) contact geometry is observed. Raman spectroscopy is applied for characterization aiming to clarify surface and interface properties. It is found that the effective contact formation occur after 4 min annealing. The increase of thermal treatment time leads to unwished effects in graphene layers.
The trap distribution depending on the exciting light spectral range and applied electrical field in the ,5-(3,77dimethyloctyloxy)] paraphenylenevinylene) was investigated by the thermally stimulated current (TSC) technique. To ensure selective excitation of the defect states we have used the long-pass colour filters with cut-on energies from 1.77 up to 3.10 eV. In order to evaluate the trap parameters of MDMO-PPV, curve fitting was done. The analysis revealed the Gaussian distribution of the defect states; the estimated effective activation energies were about 0.22 and 0.40 eV.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
