We implement a logic switch by using a graphene acoustoelectric transducer at room temperature. We operate two pairs of inter-digital transducers (IDTs) to launch surface acoustic waves (SAWs) on a LiNbO 3 substrate and utilize graphene as a channel material to sustain acoustoelectric current I ae induced by SAWs. By cooperatively tuning the input power on the IDTs, we can manipulate the propagation direction of I ae such that the measured I ae can be deliberately controlled to be positive, negative, or even zero. We define the zero-crossing I ae as , and then demonstrate that I ae can be switched with a ratio at a rate up to few tens kHz. Our device with an accessible operation scheme provides a means to convert incoming acoustic waves modulated by digitized data sequence onto electric signals with frequency band suitable for digital audio modulation. Consequently, it could potentially open a route for developing graphene-based logic devices in large-scale integration electronics.
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.
