First-principles theoretical investigation of graphene for sensor applications
Yoshitaka Fujimoto
Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan
Ever since the successful exfoliation of graphene from multilayer graphite, graphene has received much interest from
the viewpoints of fundamental physics and relevant applications in nanoelectronics because it shows various unique
properties. Specifically, due to its extremely high carrier mobility, graphene is a potential device material for next-generation
nanoelectronics. One of the effective ways to control the electronic properties of graphene is to dope with heteroatoms.
Furthermore, substitutionally doped graphene can often enhance its chemical reactivity. Thus, doped graphene is also a good
candidate for promising sensor applications because of the high carrier mobility as well as the high sensitivity. I will talk about
our theoretical works of chemical doping as well as gas adsorption including environmentally polluting gases effects on the
stabilities and the electronic properties of graphene layers based on the first-principles electronic-structure study within the
density-functional theory.
Biography
Fujimoto received his PhD degree in Engineering from Osaka University, Japan. After receiving his PhD he moved to the University of Tokyo. Then, he joined
Department of Physics, Tokyo Institute of Technology as an Assistant Professor. His research interests include electronic properties of surfaces/interfaces of
semiconductors and atomic-layered materials. He has published over 50 technical articles in peer-reviewed journals, reviews, book, book chapters, etc. and has
served as referee of many international journals, organizer and committee in conferences.
