Effects of Graphene Integration on the Electronic and Optical Properties

EasyChair Preprint 14486

Abstract

Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, has garnered significant attention due to its extraordinary electronic and optical properties. Its high electron mobility, broad spectral range absorption, and unique plasmonic effects make it valuable for enhancing various technologies. Integrating graphene into electronic devices improves performance by providing faster switching speeds, enhanced sensor sensitivity, and reduced resistive losses in interconnects. Graphene’s broad absorption spectrum and plasmonic characteristics enable advancements in photodetectors, optical communications, and displays in optical applications. The electronic properties of graphene can be further tuned through chemical doping and substrate interactions, while optical properties can be modified by integrating graphene with other 2D materials or nanostructures. Despite these advancements, challenges such as manufacturing scalability, integration with existing technologies, and cost remain significant. Ongoing research is focused on overcoming these hurdles and exploring novel applications, promising further advancements in both electronic and optical fields.
