In this work, we shall demonstrate theoretically that, for certain energy ranges, the electron‐transport properties of a bilayer‐graphene‐flake (BGF)‐based system may be strongly modified by small variations of the interlayer spacing. On the other hand, the interlayer spacing variation may be yielded by a vibrational mode in the terahertz region. Thus, a BGF‐based terahertz switch is proposed. Potential applications include terahertz pulse generators, digital electronics, and logic devices.
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.
