What ultimately limits the scaling of graphene nanogap electrodes

Scientists have found that it is the intrinsic switching behavior of the graphene electrodes, rather than the properties of the phase change material, that ultimately limits the device scaling and therefore its performance.

A novel method for the synthesis of hexagonal boron nitride

This synthesis of hBN in a controlled layer-by-layer fashion is critical to a number of applications, including tunneling barriers, used in transistors for low power devices, atomically thin capacitors, and two-dimensional transistors, which are smaller and use much less power than traditional silicon transistors.
