Intricate Resonant Raman Response in Anisotropic ReS2

August 18, 2017
Author(s)
Amber McCreary, Jeffrey R. Simpson, Yuanxi Wang, Daniel Rhodes, Kazunori Fujisawa, Luis Balicas, Madan Dubey, Vincent H. Crespi, M. Terrones, Angela R. Hight Walker
Rhenium disulfide is an exciting material due to its strong in-plane anisotropy, thus offering an additional physical parameter that can be tuned for advanced applications. ReS2 provides a major advantage for optoelectronics as it is both stable in air and

Raman Identification of Multiple Melting Peaks of Polyethylene

August 1, 2017
Author(s)
Ying Jin, Anthony P. Kotula, Chad R. Snyder, Angela R. Hight Walker, Kalman D. Migler, Young J. Lee
Multiple melting peaks of high-density polyethylene produced by complex thermal pre-treatment are investigated with variable temperature Raman spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). We examine the origin of the observed multiple melting

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

May 19, 2017
Author(s)
Albert F. Rigosi, Nicholas R. Glavin, Chieh-I Liu, Yanfei Yang, Jan Obrzut, Heather M. Hill, Jiuning Hu, Hsin Y. Lee, Angela R. Hight Walker, Curt A. Richter, Randolph E. Elmquist, David B. Newell
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

Epitaxial graphene homogeneity and quantum Hall effect in millimeter-scale devices

April 1, 2017
Author(s)
Yanfei Yang, Guangjun Cheng, Chiashain Chuang, Angela R. Hight Walker, Randolph E. Elmquist, Irene G. Calizo, Randall M. Feenstra, Patrick Mende
Quantized magnetotransport is observed in 5.6 × 5.6 mm2 epitaxial graphene devices, grown using highly constrained sublimation on the Si-face of SiC(0001) at high temperature (1900 °C). The precise quantized Hall resistance of Rxy = h/〖2e〗^2 is maintained

Elucidating the Structural and Electronic Properties of Solution-Synthesized 2D SnS Crystals

March 28, 2017
Author(s)
Adam J. Biacchi, Brian G. Alberding, Son T. Le, Joseph A. Hagmann, Sugata Chowdhury, Curt A. Richter, Edwin J. Heilweil, Angela R. Hight Walker
The vast majority of nanoscale 2D materials are synthesized by exfoliation or gas phase deposition techniques. Alternatively, bottom-up colloidal solution syntheses offer a scalable and cost-efficient means of producing 2D nanomaterials in high yield

Separation of Double-Wall Carbon Nanotubes by Electronic Type and Diameter

January 24, 2017
Author(s)
Jason K. Streit, Stephanie Lam, Yanmei Piao, Angela R. Hight Walker, Jeffrey A. Fagan, Ming Zheng
In this work, we introduce a new procedure for the efficient isolation and subsequent separation of double-wall carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs). A simplified rate zonal ultracentrifugation (RZU) process is first applied to obtain samples of highly enriched

The rheo-Raman microscope: Simultaneous chemical, conformational, mechanical, and microstructural measures of soft materials

October 4, 2016
Author(s)
Anthony P. Kotula, Matthew Meyer, Francesca De Vito, Jan Plog, Angela R. Hight Walker, Kalman D. Migler
We describe the design and demonstrate performance of an instrument capable of simultaneous Raman spectroscopy, rheology, and optical microscopy of materials. The instrument couples a Raman microscope with a rotational rheometer through an optically
