ABSTRACT: Metal/two-dimensional carbon junctions are characterized by using a nanoprobe
in an ultrahigh vacuum environment. Significant differences were found in bias
voltage (V) dependence of differential conductance (dI/dV) between edge- and
side-contact; the former exhibits a clear linear relationship (i.e., dI/dV
\propto V), whereas the latter is characterized by a nonlinear dependence,
dI/dV \propto V3/2. Theoretical calculations confirm the experimental results,
which are due to the robust two-dimensional nature of the carbon materials
under study. Our work demonstrates the importance of contact geometry in
graphene-based electronic devices.
