Study of graphene p-n junctions formed by the electrostatic modification of the SiO2 substrate

Abstract We study the transport properties of mm-scale CVD graphene p-n junctions, which are formed in a single gated graphene field effect transistor configuration. Here, an electrical-stressing-voltage technique served to modify the electrostatic potential in the SiO 2 /Si substrate and create the p-n junction. We examine the transport characteristics about the Dirac points that are localized in the perturbed and unperturbed regions in the graphene channel and note the quantitative differences in the Hall effect between the perturbed and unperturbed regions. The results also show that the longitudinal resistance is highly sensitive to the external magnetic field when the Hall bar device operates as a p-n junction.

A theoretical/computational framework to measure SiO2 and MgO viscosity at high pressure

The convection of the mantle of Earth and super-Earths is important for many terrestrial phenomena, from plate tectonics to outgassing. Rheological properties, such as viscosity, regulate the transport of thermal energy and mass. However, the viscosity of mantle-relevant materials, such as MgO, at relevant pressures (>120 GPa) are not well constrained. The objective of this work was to develop a computational platform to simulate novel experiments aiming to measure the viscosity of MgO at high pressures. Experiments performed by our collaborators at Johns Hopkins University and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory use the OMEGA EP laser facility to shock a corrugated MgO interface to 170 GPa, with resulting velocity evolution governed by the viscous Richtmyer-Meshkov instability. We used an in-house hydrocode to simulate this process and thus provide a bound on viscosity by comparing our simulations results to these experiments, as well as to examine the physical processes at play. We simulated the experiments with different values of MgO viscosity (from inviscid to 10,000 Pa∙s) while taking into account the unsteady laser pulse, the material's equation of state, and the rate-dependent constitutive relation for MgO, and the materials' equations of state. Our results suggest that MgO at these conditions has a viscosity within an order of magnitude of 5000 Pa∙s.
