Nanostructured Systems

The electronic states of graphene near the Fermi energy are well described by massless Dirac Fermion. The presence of edges, however, makes strong implications for the spectrum of the electrons. In graphene nanoribbons with zigzag edges, localized states appear at the edge with energies close to the Fermi level. In contrast, edge states are absent for ribbons with armchair edges. In my talk, we focus on edge and nanoscale effect on the electronic properties of graphene nanoribbons. We discuss the following aspects of graphene nanostructured systems. (1) In zigzag nanoribbons, for nonmagnetic long-ranged disorder, a single perfectly conducting channel emerges associated with a chiral mode due to the edge state, i.e., the absence of the localization in this class. (2) We show the electronic transport properties of graphene nanojunctions crucially depend on the peripheral lattice structures. The condition for electron confinement is discussed. (3) We will discuss the effect of edge chemical modification on magnetic properties of nanographene systems. Also, we discuss the hole doping effect on the spin-polarized states appearing along the graphene zigzag edges. Our studies reveal that the peculiar electronic, magnetic and transport properties of graphene nanostructured systems. In addition, we present our recent work on graphene double layer structure (GDLS), where two graphene layers are separated by a thin dielectric. We will discuss the dielectric environment effect on the charged-impurity-limited carrier mobility of the GDLS on the basis of the Boltzmann transport theory. It is found that carrier mobility strongly depends on the dielectric constant of the barrier layer if the interlayer distance becomes larger than the inverse of the Fermi wave vector. Our results suggest effective use of ultra-thin dielectric barriers and a practical design strategy to improve the charged-impurity-limited mobility of the GDLS.

Electronic Transport Properties

Sn-doped CoSb3 skutterudites were prepared by encapsulated induction melting and their electronic transport properties were examined. The Sn dopant generated excess charge carriers, which increased in concentration with increasing Sn doping content. However, the carrier mobility decreased with increasing doping content, indicating a decrease in the hole mean free path by impurity scattering. The Seebeck coefficient decreased and the electrical resistivity decreased slightly with increasing the carrier concentration due to the reduced carrier mobility by impurity scattering. The lattice thermal conductivity was dominant in the Sn-doped CoSb3 skutterudites.

Carrier Transport Properties

The fundamental understanding of the influence of molecular structure on the carrier transport properties in the field of organic thermoelectrics (OTEs) is a big challenge since the carrier transport behavior in conducting polymers reveals average properties contributed from all carrier transport channels, including those through intra-chain, inter-chain, inter-grain, and hopping between disordered localized sites. Here, combining molecular dynamics simulations and experiments, we investigated the carrier transport properties of doped highly oriented poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) films with different side-chain regioregularity. It is demonstrated that the substitution of side chains can not only take effect on the carrier transport edge, but also on the dimensionality of the transport paths and as a result, on the carrier mobility. Conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) study as well as temperature-dependent measurements of the electrical conductivity clearly showed ordered local current paths in the regular side chain P3HT films, while random paths prevailed in the irregular sample. Regular side chain substitution can be activated more easily and favors one-dimensional transport along the backbone chain direction, while the irregular sample presents the three-dimensional electron hopping behavior. As a consequence, the regular side chain P3HT samples demonstrated high carrier mobility of 2.9 ± 0.3 cm2/V·s, which is more than one order of magnitude higher than that in irregular side chain P3HT films, resulting in a maximum thermoelectric (TE) power factor of 39.1 ± 2.5 μW/mK2 at room temperature. These findings would formulate design rules for organic semiconductors based on these complex systems, and especially assist in the design of high performance OTE polymers.

Excimer Formation

We have studied the electronic properties and the charge carrier mobility of the organic semiconductor tris(1-oxo-1H-phenalen-9-olate)aluminium(III) (Al(Op)3) both experimentally and theoretically. We experimentally estimated the HOMO and LUMO energy levels to be −5.93 and −3.26 eV, respectively, which were close to the corresponding calculated values. Al(Op)3 was successfully evaporated onto quartz substrates and was clearly identified in the absorption spectra of both the solution and the thin film. A structured steady state fluorescence emission was detected in solution, whereas a broad, red-shifted emission was observed in the thin film. This indicates the formation of excimers in the solid state, which is crucial for the transport properties. The incorporation of Al(Op)3 into organic thin film transistors (TFTs) was performed in order to measure the charge carrier mobility. The experimental setup detected no electron mobility, while a hole mobility between 0.6 × 10−6 and 2.1 × 10−6 cm2·V−1·s−1 was measured. Theoretical simulations, on the other hand, predicted an electron mobility of 9.5 × 10−6 cm2·V−1·s−1 and a hole mobility of 1.4 × 10−4 cm2·V−1·s−1. The theoretical simulation for the hole mobility predicted an approximately one order of magnitude higher hole mobility than was observed in the experiment, which is considered to be in good agreement. The result for the electron mobility was, on the other hand, unexpected, as both the calculated electron mobility and chemical common sense (based on the capability of extended aromatic structures to efficiently accept and delocalize additional electrons) suggest more robust electron charge transport properties. This discrepancy is explained by the excimer formation, whose inclusion in the multiscale simulation workflow is expected to bring the theoretical simulation and experiment into agreement.
