Oxygen Vacancies in the Single Layer of Ti2CO2 MXene: Effects of Gating Voltage, Mechanical Strain, and Atomic Impurities

“…The development of recent nanoscience and technology, especially materials science, has motivated the scientific community to seek novel materials with intriguing physical and chemical properties useful for high‐performance applications. Graphene has many extraordinary properties, including high carrier mobility [ 1 ] and massless Dirac fermions, [ 2 ] making it a potential material for high‐speed field‐effect transistors (FETs) [ 3 ] and ultrafast photodetectors. [ 4 ] Unfortunately, the gapless structure of graphene [ 1 ] hinders its application in highly integrated nanoelectronic and optoelectronic devices.…”

Literature Review

“…Table 2.7 showcases a summary of some of the graphene-based transistors with their corresponding strain and electron mobility (Jang et al 2016). Work has also been done on the use of graphene-based electrical sensors for biomolecular, physical and chemical sensing (Zhan et al 2014) due to the simplicity in the design, ease of mass production and the capability to capture and amplify the output signals. The physical sensors were also developed with graphene electrodes in phototransistors and thermal transistors.…”

Side-chain effects on the co-existence of emergent nanopatterns in amino acid adlayers on graphene

“…The self-organisation of biomolecules adsorbed on solid surfaces into ordered nanopatterns is a promising route for the development of a wide-range of graphene-based nano-devices, including field-effect transistors (FET) and optical biosensors, and for diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] The ability to control this nanostructuring and non-covalent functionalisation of graphene surfaces is a fundamental requirement for achieving this. A key step required to facilitate this control is to elucidate the elementary mechanisms influencing the self-assembly of biomolecules at the graphene interface.…”

“…A key step required to facilitate this control is to elucidate the elementary mechanisms influencing the self-assembly of biomolecules at the graphene interface. [1][2][3]5,[8][9][10] Small biomolecules, such as amino acids, representing the basic unit of peptides and proteins, are ideal structures to obtain fundamental insights into this self-ordering process. 9,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Despite these considerable prospects, a deeper understanding of the fundamental mechanisms controlling biomolecule self-assembly at the molecular-level is still needed to enable these advances.…”

“…9,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Despite these considerable prospects, a deeper understanding of the fundamental mechanisms controlling biomolecule self-assembly at the molecular-level is still needed to enable these advances. [1][2][3][4][5][6]10 Amongst the elementary mechanisms influencing pattern formation in amino acid adlayers deposited on non-reactive solid surfaces, several experimental and simulation studies have identified inter-molecular interactions as the primary driving force accounting for the formation of ordered supramolecular structures, albeit with additional influences from the molecule-surface interactions. 11,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] These inter-molecular interactions could be mediated via e.g.…”
