Nanographite Films for Solid State Electronic Applications

Abstract EN

The structure and properties of nanographite films useful for applications in solid state devices are described.

The possibility to use low conducting state of nanographite film for detecting radiation in the segmented solid state detectors is considered.

Other interesting phenomena include the field effect conductivity switching which can be used in contactless current limiters and circuit breakers, the rf-to-dc conversion which can be utilized in microwave and photo detectors, and light emitting subsequent to the conductivity switching with possible application as light sources.

The possible underlying gears of the mentioned effects are discussed.
