of a graphene nanoribbon field-effect transistor. Journal of Applied
Physics, 104(11):114505(6), 2008. |
|
| We propose an analytical device model for a graphene nanoribbon field-effect transistor
(GNR-FET) under the dc and ac operating conditions. The GNR-FET under
consideration is based on a heterostructure, which consists of an array of nanoribbons
clad between the highly conducting substrate (the back gate) and the top gate
controlling the dc and ac source-drain currents. Using the model developed, we derive
explicit analytical formulas for the GNR-FET transconductance as a function
of the signal frequency, collision frequency of electrons, and the top gate length. The
transition from the ballistic to strongly collisional electron transport is considered. |

Physics, 103:094510(8), 2008. |
| We present an analytical device model for a field-effect transistor based on a heterostructure,
which consists of an array of nanoribbons clad between the highly
conducting substrate (the back-gate) and the top gate controlling the source-drain
current. The equations of the model of a grapheme-nanoribbon field-effect transistor
(GNR-FET) include the Poisson equation in the weak nonlocality approximation.
By using this model, we find explicit analytical formulas for the spatial distributions
of the electric potential along the channel and for the GNR-FET current-voltage
characteristics (the dependences of the source-drain current on the drain voltages as
well as on the back-gate and top-gate voltages) for different geometric parameters of
the device. It is shown that the shortening of the top gate can result in a substantial
modification of the GNR-FET current-voltage characteristics. |

of self-excitation of terahertz plasma oscillations in periodically double-gated
electron channels. Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 20:384207(6), 2008. |
| We develop a device model for a heterostructure device with an electron channel
and with a periodic system of interdigitated gates. Using this model, we find the
conditions of the self-excitation of plasma oscillations in portions of the channel.
It is shown that the self-excitation of plasma oscillations in these devices and the
terahertz emission observed in the experiments might be attributed to the electrontransit-
time effect in the barrier regions. |

in high-electron mobility transistor with nanostring/carbon nanotube as the
mechanically floating gate. Journal of Applied Physics, 104:024514(7), 2008. |
| We develop a device model for a resonant detector of electromagnetic radiation with
a frequency in the terahertz (THz) range modulated by megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz
(GHz) signals based on a micromachined high-electron mobility transistor
(HEMT) with a metallized nanostring (NS) or metallic carbon nanotube (CNT) as
mechanically the floating gate and analyze the detector operation. The device model
describes both the NS/CNT mechanical motion and plasma effects in the HEMT
two-dimensional electron channel. Using this model, we calculate the output gate
alternating current and the detector responsivity as functions of the carrier (in the
THz range) and modulation frequencies, which are in the THz and MHz (or GHz
range), respectively. It is shown that the THz detector responsivity exhibits sharp
and high maxima under the conditions of both mechanical and plasma resonances. |

A. Satou, F. T. Vasko, and V. Ryzhii. Nonequilibrium carriers in
intrinsic graphene under interband photoexcitation. Physical Review B,
78:115431(6), 2008. |
| We study nonequilibrium carriers (electrons and holes) in intrinsic graphene at low
temperatures under far-infrared (IR) and midinfrared radiation in a wide range of its
intensities. The energy distributions of carriers are calculated using a quasiclassical
kinetic equation which accounts for the energy relaxation due to acoustic phonons
and the radiative generation-recombination processes associated with thermal radiation
and the carrier photoexcitation by incident radiation. It is found that the
nonequilibrium distributions are determined by an interplay between weak energy
relaxation on acoustic phonons and generation-recombination processes as well as by
the effect of pumping saturation. Due to the effect of saturation, the carrier distribution
functions can exhibit plateaus around the pumping region at elevated intensities.
As shown, at sufficiently strong mid-IR pumping, the population inversion can occur
below the pumping energy. The graphene dc conductivity as a function of the pumping
intensity exhibits a pronounced nonlinearity with a sublinear region at fairly
low intensities and a saturation at a strong pumping. However, an increase in the
pumping intensity in very wide range leads only to a modest increase in the carrier
concentration and, particularly, the dc conductivity. The graphene conductivity at
mid-IR irradiation exhibit strong sensitivity to mechanisms of carrier momentum
relaxation. |

under optical pumping: nonequilibrium distributions, population inversion,
and terahertz lasing. In Proc. SPIE, Vol. 7211 (2009), pp. 721119-721119-11,
2009. |
| We study nonequilibrium carriers (electrons and holes) in an intrinsic graphene at low
temperatures under farand mid-infrared optical pumping in a wide range of its power
densities. The energy distributions of carriers are calculated using a quasiclassic kinetic
equation which accounts for the energy relaxation due to acoustic phonons and
the radiative generation-recombination processes associated with thermal radiation
and the carrier photoexcitation by incident radiation. It is found that the nonequilibrium
distributions are determined by an interplay between weak energy relaxation on
acoustic phonons and generation-recombination processes as well as by the effect of
pumping saturation. Due to the effect of pumping saturation, the carrier distribution
functions can exhibit plateaus whose width increases with increasing pumping power
density. The graphene steady-state conductivity as a function of the pumping power
density exhibits a pronounced nonlinearity with a sub-linear region at fairly low power
densities. As shown, at certain pumping power density the population inversion as
well as the dynamic negative conductivity can take place in terahertz and far-infrared
frequencies, suggesting the possibility of utilization of graphene under optical pumping
for optoelectronic applications, in particular, lasing at such frequencies. |
