Electrical Transport Properties of Chemically Reduced Graphene Oxide Thin Films

ORAL

Abstract

We will report on synthesis and electrical characterization of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) obtained from graphene oxide (GO) in ascorbic acid. Electrical transport on thin film devices made from these samples was investigated in a wide range (50 K to 400 K) of temperature. We find that the between the temperature range (150 K to 400 K) these samples show Arrhenius-like temperature dependence. At low temperatures, (50 K to 150 K) variable range hopping (VRH) transport of electrons in a two-dimensional electron system was observed for these samples. The effect of magnetic field on the electrical transport on these materials will presented and discussed.
