All-carbon approach to inducing electrical and optical anisotropy in graphene

Owing to its array of unique properties, graphene is a promising material for a wide variety of applications. Being two-dimensional, the properties of graphene are also easily tuned via proximity to other materials. In this work, we investigate the possibility of inducing electrical and optical anis...

description Owing to its array of unique properties, graphene is a promising material for a wide variety of applications.

We find that such materials do indeed induce such anisotropy in graphene while also preserving the unique properties offered by graphene’s Dirac band structure, namely, its superior charge transport and long-wavelength optical absorption. The optical anisotropy makes such heterostructures interesting for their use in applications related to long-wavelength polarimetry, while the electrical anisotropy may be valuable for enhancing the performance of graphene photothermoelectric detectors.
